'the future always happens now... the future always happens in our imaginations, and our imaginations run on now-time.' - adam roberts in the introduction to cryptozoic! by brian aldiss.
yesterday horsemouth was feeling surprisingly jaded (after having so much fun) but he cheered up in the evening after a phonecall with his mum (battling the usual difficulties with getting doctor's appointments etc. and cheering on plucky liz truss). he also was messaged by enza (on some co-op stuff) and read some co-op related documents. being allowed to demonstrate competence cheered him up.
it's a monday morning horsemouth faces a relaunched week. later possibly a wander with TG.
'from the beginnings of autumn to the end of winter'
it is time to admit the changes of gearing in the seasons and to watch the old mechanical clock of the heavens creak into action.
the autumn equinox is past and we move on towards halloween (and the celtic quarter day of samhain) and the winter solstice. the general trend is that things will be colder and wetter.
horsemouth has a health check tuesday. a friend is visiting wednesday, there''s a possible party saturday. two weekends time he's away to a housing conference to find out about using government money (from the social housing decarbonisation fund) to insulating houses and reduce the fuel bills of the members (or more likely just to enable them to be able to afford to heat their homes over winter).
some sun shines in horsemouth's window. (the sun has made it over the houses at the end of horsemouth's street). increasingly the sun will spend less time in the back garden. the decking will become damp and slippery. the growth of the plants (weeds mostly but not without their charm) will halt and roll back.
he has stuff to be getting on with (but does he have enough stuff). the music has become a bit slow - he underprepared for saturday (he now realises) - he should get back and active.
