don't blame horsemouth - that's iain duncan smith describing tory the MPs that is.
last night a very pleasant evening round at D+C's singing and playing in the back garden. horsemouth was not particularly on form (his hearing is a bit rubbish at the minute). he claimed he could sing la mer but he couldn't - his eyesight is getting so poor it is difficult to read lyrics and chords from phones. he did however manage a pass round les feuilles morts (with dave playing the guitar).
he thanks D+C for feeding him (and the music was good). D has got gnossienne no.3 learnt (to go with gnossienne no.1) and can play and sing through riverman (nick drake), which is uncharacteristic because it is in 5 time
sunak got 101 votes on thursday, with mordaunt receiving 83 and truss 64. badenoch 49 and tugendhat 32.
the next vote takes place on monday, as MPs whittle down the field to two, who will then face a postal ballot of tory members to decide the winner.
the result will be announced on 5th september, and only then will johnson will leave office (fingers crossed).
if the field is to be two out of this pack of 5 requires the redistribution of votes to alter teh running order, for truss to get on the final ballot she's got to pick up votes from badenoch and tugendhat sufficient to push her past mordaunt. there's a fairly rough campaign going on to knobble mardaunt. ok that's as much grimness as horsemouth can bear to contemplate this early.
on the book side a most excellent find. alberto manguel's a history of reading salvation army, 3 squid. manguel read for borges when he was young because borges was blind and manguel could read english (which borges understood).
before that horsemouth drank a coffee and sat in lloyd park. possibly a meeting with howard today.
