everything is taking forever

horsemouth has reached friday. it's a rainy friday. rany and grey. horsemouth is still coughing (but he thinks he's on the mend). tomorrow (3pm) howard may be coming round for a visit. 

'housing is directly responsible for about 14% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions... (and) about 7 million UK households... (are) experiencing “preventable fuel poverty”..'

well still no news from the government on their social housing decarbonisation fund wave 2.1 (which would be helpful seeing as we are now 1-2 months behind schedule with it on only a two and a quarter year programme). it is 'expected in the coming week or two'. 

horsemouth just wants to get on with it. he wants to get on with the work of whacking insulation into the houses so that they are easier to heat over winter. 

horsemouth assumed that seeing as capitalism has just doubled the cost of gas and electricity the masses would be delighted to see measures to insulate their homes and reduce their bills. but of course many people are afraid of the disruption this might bring. 

similarly with the bank loan (to purchase more housing) thing - that's taking forever also. ideally horsemouth would like to get it done (so that it is done). 

everything is taking forever remarks horsemouth. 

but despite that  he supposes that the actual direction of travel is the the right one and (come to think of it) the purchases of new flats to replace st. john's church road is going well and quickly (so mustn't grumble). 

today more shuffling about (sorry paddy but it's true). last night he watched autopsy (armando crispino 1974) tonight he will probably watch another giallo.
