the light in the sky show (the truth about the light in the back garden)

ok it's 8.30 am now and the light in the sky is barely over the houses on the opposite side of the road (now that it rises further south on the eastern horizon - quite where this would appear to be horsemouth cannot tell you -  leyton at least, probably stratford). it will rise up into the sky but to a lower apparent height casting sunbeams towards the back of horsemouth's room (some of which will make it over the rooftops into horsemouth's back garden. by around 3pm the sun will be declining in the west and casting its rays down and back eastwards into the garden (a small patch in the shadow of the wall will not be directly illuminated). by 6pm it will stop shining on the raised decking. by 7.30 pm or so it is all over for the light in the sky show. 

the truth about the light in the back garden is that horsemouth could do with more of it. to dry it out during the long rainy season of winter, to help the plants grow, to keep him warm when he sits out there and reads. in the summer he actually wants more shade in the back garden so that he can sit and read in the shade.  

hold up horsemouth needs to go to the loo and then get more coffee. 

ah he's back. 

yesterday a walk up to walthamstow (st. james street oxfam, no purchases, nor anything found in the coppermill lane bookbox) and then back through the industrial estate (past cee cee galleries? and the secret vietnamese restaurant). 7km all told. the day before yesterday's find (in a bin literally) was outside the gate: st.botolph's and adgate 950-1994, malcolm johnson (slightly stained but ok copy). later he read in the back garden (duras practicalities again 'every life is an insoluble problem'), later the hawkbinge podcast, later still walter hill's the driver (stylish, well shot, a little empty).

then, almost immediately, bed. 

outside it looks a very passable day. horsemouth is due to be off to sunny east ham at some point. (next weekend a gig and a party and the weekend after a party). it's a busy social whirl. 

it's sort of a year since all the filming of the fall of the house of  fitzgerald and horsemouth's part in the recording of the soundtrack. horsemouth has been posting the still photographs from the adventure. it's two years ago. how time flies.
