will this comedy never end?

so sometime this evening horsemouth goes (or maybe he stays home) to conduct a zoom meeting on the decarbonisation fund. at the moment it looks like being just  ian from upstairs and howard, they will perhaps record it and pass it on to a woman from another house and maybe other people if they are interested.

last night 9pm an interview with laurie lee. 

yesterday's purchases 5kg basmati rice and 1.75kg of red lentils(some custard tarts). tinned beans are getting more expensive (rocking up towards 50p a can), horsemouth is looking round for alternative sources of protein (cannibalism and such like). horsemouth will have to wait for ramadan next year - when tinned beans, rice etc. get cheaper at least at asda aka. the supermarket in the fields (or at least they have in previous years).

ramadan 2023 will begin in the evening of wednesday, 22nd march and ends the evening of friday, 21st april. 

last night he cooked a sweet potato/potato/ onion/ peppers/ red kidney beans/ mushrooms and rice kind of thing (having lived on toast and baked beans  for a number of days). 

the heating has been on 17C day/ 14C night (but strangely now seems to be off - we'll see). the house (and particularly horsemouth's basement room) is mostly in shade with low solar gains. the result is that horsemouth only ever feels not cold under the present dispensation this never rises to feeling actually warm (except when he returns home from a walk). horsemouth will check the gas consumption at the end of the week. in the house everyone is coughing up for the new higher gas and electricity and standing charges bill (and they still have the government money in reserve). 

horsemouth doesn't make much recourse to his childhood (an excellent source of material for many writers) nor indeed his young adulthood. laurie lee makes good use of all this material (horsemouth has read as I walked out one midsummer morning  he thinks but not cider with rosie). 

however many years it is. it is (once again) the anniversary of horsemouth's starting to blog. long may he continue.
