that 'it is because things are boring that horsemouth can keep a diary'

'if you are seeing this it it because yourself in the future is trying to get in touch with you.' - optical hallucination of a youtube post (probably retirement and pensions clickbait).

'the skeleton of an unintended novel about himself' - herling on stendahl's egotism.(further discussion of the honesty of diaries and journals)

it is because things are boring that horsemouth can keep a diary

for horsemouth to be sure that this were not true horsemouth would need things not to be boring (which would make him anxious). he could also try not keeping a diary (and see if that made things less boring). to be fair he did keep the diary through a period of pestilence. (and meanwhile various wars and famines have occurred (but not locally)).

and if anything were to occur horsemouth probably wouldn't tell you.

today horsemouth goes cat sitting. later he also goes to a friend's birthday party (and then he has to get back to where he is cat-sitting. oh the busy social whirl). it looks to horsemouth that one of his wisdom teeth is on the move and this may be the source of his problems rather than his existing teeth.

the cat-sitting will enable him to do various visits (his brother, rust maybe) and trawl some second hand bookshops for books (the sally army etc.)   

we have made it to saturday. tuesday a lawyers meeting by zoom. wednesday a meeting of the communal endeavour by zoom. tuesday the week after a gig at max's booklaunch. interspersed, various events of the paris commune 1871 (lasting out to may/ early june). 

yesterday horsemouth went to play with pete - it is all coming together nicely. and then they went for a walk round the neighbourhood in the sunshine. pete fed him (baked potato) and later he cooked some pasta for himself. 

the leaves are out on the tree in the front garden.
