horsemouth is out in the wilds of herefordshire and it has stopped raining

horsemouth is out in the wilds of herefordshire and it has stopped raining (this fact bears repeating). 

horsemouth is up early. he has made himself a coffee and let the dog out. as he drew back the curtains he surprised a rabbit feeding near the house. 

it is absolutely beautiful out there with a fine dew descending and everything very green. the sun shines through a haze that is slowly building up. far far away aircraft accelerate up into blue skies.  

it's been a good year for the primroses and the other wild flowers (his mother says).  

yesterday evening horsemouth went for a quick walk on the common. he ate dinner and fell almost  immediately into a deep sleep. he will have to find a book to read (he didn't bring the picasso with him he was nearing the end with it anyhow). he brought the hannah arendt planning to start that at some point near the end

the plan is to take advantage of a day without rain  .to get some mowing in (but first it must dry off). the forecast predicts rain tomorrow and thereafter. 

he may try and get a walk in before breakfast this morning (his parents tend to be late risers and bearkfast is eaten late). he will revisit the blogpost as he discovers more to say.  

he has been up on the common - it was beautiful but muddy - he has seen the ponies (they look wonderful but they do tear up the ground). he exchanged greetings with a pensoner 'lovely morning' 'isn't it beautiful'.
