sunrise quite a bit to the south now. the sun is just clearing the horizon at what is now 7.10am
horsemouth is off in search of coffee sure in the thought that it is really 8.10.
he has just been resetting all the various clocks (curiously, in a PKD moment, despite their widely differing appearances they all have exactly the same little plastic mechanism powering them).
this is one of the strange nips and tucks required to get our actual experience of daylight and time to match. the real problem will come with it this evening when it will be getting dark at 16.50. the aim of it daylight saving time is to enable the workers to get to work in daylight (of course this means they have to make their way home in darkness but hey at least you've got another days work out of them).
it requires a way of living that prioritises getting up and out in the morning.
yesterday zoom beers with howard. howard had been on a march against the israeli invasion of palestine (as have many of horsemouth's friends). yesterday also a walk on the common.
today the anniversary of the release of choose your masques by hawkwind - horsemouth was starting to separate from them by this point under the opprobrium heaped upon them for not being a punk band. the title track is decent - horsemouth has no real recollection of the rest of it. the title is a bit stupid (in its coddery) as is the key concept, the backing track a decent love missile F-111 type thing.
soon enough halloween/ samhain and the return to the 'embers' (september, november, december) from a mere 'ber' -october. last night was the night of the demon, tomorrow we are into the timeline of halloween. horsemouth has published his books, films etc. list for october, soon he will share it here.
