horsemouth awaits with bated breath (an interesting curio)

horsemouth was reading his blog. back to before when the dog died. before when his dad died. back to when he first came to herefordshire in may.

a lot has happened for sure. a lot of it is tucked away while horsemouth tries to get on with the new dispensation. 

there is the stuff that is before and there is the stuff that is after. 

it was interesting to re-read it all. it all reads quite well. for a while it all seemed utterly pointless. 

horsemouth watched the movie gogol which was enjoyable. 

above an engaging video - it seems to owe something to  french horror serials by georges franju (or possibly jacques champreux) and to fritz lang's dr. mabuse also. here the spirit of sound (in the form of kate bush) wreaks revenge on those who would use sound as a weapon. horsemouth had never seen it before - it is set around turner's lane.  the problem with it is that the tune itself isn't that great and that wartime aesthetic has been used before by her. (interesting curio). 

horsemouth awaits (with bated breath) matthew's book (today is the release date). 

'electricity prices were also forecast to stay elevated until the end of the decade, remaining at least 60% higher than they were in 2021...' 

it's a bumpy ride to net zero for sure.
