1870 kilvert is still back at langley burrell. news comes of the defeat of the french by the prussians 'france is reeling under two fearful blows' he reads in the standard.
there will be nothing from kafka now until the 11th. horsemouth is reading ahead in the kafka. he is entering a difficult but productive period where he writes, he is not satisfied with his writing and it will not always come but he is doing it at least. he latches onto it as something like his salvation (except he is aware that he cannot be saved).
horsemouth is up slightly later than usual (8am) having slept through solidly. yesterday they visited his father's body in the funeral home. he was dressed as he was usually dressed in the evenings to watch tv. horsemouth had to check he wasn't breathing. his forehead was looking distinguished (a lot like grandad in fact).
horsemouth has to get on and write the stuff he intends to write. friday there is a meeting of the decarbonisation consortium on zoom.
the cup of coffee he has made is great and very tasty. horsemouth will go and get some more and finish this off. in a bit horsemouth will go to water the tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse. it looks like there will be lots of damsons this year. they may go into town to buy horsemouth a suit for the funeral and some shoes.
today it's a rainy day (it's set in for the day). but the rest of the week may be decent.
his discovery yesterday was an amina claudia myers track have mercy upon us - he had heard her playing organ on various bill laswell things and then he heard her poems for piano (the piano music of marion brown). howard is off to spain for a week or so - they may still meet up by zoom.
