so remarks van helsing (at least in his peter cushing hammer horror incarnation). horsemouth was watching a mark kermode doc. on horror on youtube last night - you just know .it's a horror film even with the sound off by the way it looks.
crows, jays, pied woodpeckers (the peanuts in his dad's birdfeeder brings all the birds to the yard). a bird of prey (a kite or a buzzard) will sometimes attempt to take advantage of the thermals on the hillside but it will usually find itself mobbed by the crows and have to beat an undignified retreat. a solitary crow has worked out that food is left inside the henshed and will sometimes land and boldly walk in the door to go and get it. there is a certain comedy to their behaviour.
in the evening lambs gambol, rabbits hop about and wise sheep sit and chew the cud. .
yesterday horsemouth was helping plant out some begonias and petunias (and some tomatoes and cucumbers) remind him to go and water them later. (remind him to let the hens out and to feed them)
it is almost time for the monthly read/ watched/ listened to list. horsemouth has nearly finished kingdom come.
at the end of this month a golden glow mix of horsemouth's tunes. howard is on half term for a week.
inspired by a daily torygraph article horsemouth did some research on moki cherry swedish textile artist and wife of jazz / improv trumpeter don cherry. she has a retrospective on at the ICA at the minute. she designed a lot of his album covers, designed and made his stage sets and played tampura (an indian drone instrument) in an ensemble with him. as you know from horsemouth's liking for tulsi's work with alice coltrane he likes that sound. it's also on john mclaughlin'e my goal's beyond.
today a bank holiday. tomorrow a phonecall. horsemouth should get on and refuel.
