'... was in chotek park. most beautiful spot in prague. birds sang, the castle with its arcades, the old trees hung with last year's foliage, the dim light.' - franz kafka, diaries, 14th march 1915. 

no more kafka for the next 8 days.(and then he will surface to say he is 'incapable of writing a line.' )

'I have read tom's [note]book. I had no right to perhaps, without telling him but he has read mine and I did... when I read tom's book I thought 'my life is over'.' - antonia white, diaries 1926-1957, 14th march 1935. 

horsemouth has been on a shopping trip to aldi. (behold he has returned from a hike!). he walked back (one and a half miles) with an 8-9kg rucksack. this is probably more food than he can eat in his remaining time but he can take some things with him back to herefordshire and leave others here for future visits. 

the evening meal was a cheap aldi pizza with spring onions, peas and fake feta cheese on it. 

it looks like the DX7 is gone forever. horsemouth paid howard a tenner for it but horsemouth probably never then picked it up and brought it home. it was probably left in the basement of reighton road (a house that has since been sold and redeveloped). this is a pity because there are online patches for it available that will get you away from the dreadful sounding presets on it. 

we are dealing with the time since horsemouth returned to h*****y, following his sojourn in pop(u)lar, a time roughly from july 2016. soon(ish) it will be his tenth anniversary of his return back to this (admittedly very pleasant) corner of the wen. he hasn't made as good a use of his time here as he might have done. oh well. horsemouth wrote a horsemouth his life so far  back in 2013 but has not updated it since. 

it is due for an update. 

since 2013 he has played live and recorded as part of musicians of bremen. he has played live solo and with pete holmgren, and with enza, and recorded with catastro/FILLE.  he has voiced over an animation and written, performed and part-directed (with catastro/FILLE and enza) the fall of the house of fitzgerald (he also did some music for it with catastro/FILLE). 

anyway he's been a busy bear but perhaps not as busy as he would have liked. 

horsemouth will be around until early next week he thinks.

he will (in all probability) be back in the wen for the april 25th pink moon and AGM of the communal endeavour. at some point the assessors of the communal endeavour's houses will become the designers of the measures that will make it possible to achieve an EPC C for the properties. once they have designed those measures it becomes a matter of presenting these to the members in the houses at a meeting - probably somewhere around the AGM horsemouth hopes (so that he can be there for it).

a friend is over visiting earlier in april - he'll come down for that as well. hey the sun just shone in the window (the weather might be improving).
