a fine and gentle rain

a fine rain falls.

'it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven

upon the place beneath.'

the black cat visits (but the birds are too smart for it).

yesterday was the release of the alice coltrane live at carnegie hall (1971) album. it's a great racket they're making - the john coltrane stuff revisited (leo, africa) does it less for horsemouth. horsemouth also watched some early pink floyd (interstellar overdrive live from rome 1968).  he listened to some engaging german prog by novalis (sounding a lot like camel).

the bbc weather for their location reports rain in the morning and mixed fortunes for the afternoon. tomorrow should be decent.  thereafter a rainy week (and at the weekend probably more rain). 

yesterday the sun shone (but there was a nip on the air). horsemouth took a wander down to the abbey and again upon the common. last night strong moonlight (the worm moon is coming). 

today possibly zoom beers with howard (or possibly a zoom cup of tea). perhaps a bottle of beer with his mum instead. tomorrow horsemouth should start on some planting.
