in which horsemouth confronts the day on unequal terms

so horsemouth - what did you get up to after the meeting.

well 3 pints of beer (and a falafel wrap  on the way home). 

on the plus side  he did walk there and walk back. 

'the diary is the most individual of all forms of literature...' - robert baldick in his introduction to pages from the goncourt journals. 

'there was now only one consuming interest left in our life, the passion for the study of living reality, apart from that there is nothing but boredom and emptiness.' - the goncourt brothers, 22nd may 1865. 

because (of course) the goncourt brothers write their journal together. 

later edmond (the eldest) writes a book on hokusai. 

and so we are into the bright half of the year (not that you'd know it by looking out of the window). 

horsemouth has slept poorly (this is rare) and now confronts the day on unequal terms (but that's ok he doesn't have very much to do). he will probably snooze a bit.
