horsemouth marooned on bear island

yesterday so here we have horsemouth up at the hollow ponds (where he adjourned with howard during howard's visit). shortly after this the skies opened and it chucked it down. geese hissed at each other and indulged in various territorial behaviours.

horsemouth fed howard. then they adjourned for a walk (but it chucked it down so they returned home sharpish). then  they polished off 3 bottles of beer between them. then when howard had nearly escaped at the train station horsemouth proposed an additional pint (which they then agreed could be two). 

the pub was noisy (but pleasant enough). they tried hiding out in the garden but it was still too cold to get comfortable out there.

in the evening horsemouth watched bear isand by alistair maclean - richard widmark, donald sutherland, vanessa redgrave battle evil nazi gold-diggers on a frozen island (the ostensible reason for their visit, to investigate climate change, is soon forgotten. perhaps the world could have been saved earlier if they had been left to continue their researches in peace).

this morning  (horsemouth can't tell what sort of day it is yet - but it looks very hopeful) and (importantly) he has his coffee. er. which he has finished already (ok no he has managed some extension with it). . 

today a meeting on zoom (horsemouth will probably try and go into the office to do it.(first the lawyers and then the consortium as a whole).
