what will be will be

oh dear howard had to drop out of the musical evening. perhaps they can get in a meet next saturday. in a bit (for it is the previous day still) horsemouth will start walking down towards minty's. he will take a guitar. tbh he's not really feeling the music at the minute but maybe something will come. 

(something came. it all went well)

last saturday would have been a good time for horsemouth and howard to meet up but horsemouth thought he would be knackered after a wander round sahf lunun. (see that would have been good that would have got in a meeting with max and all the other old gits). that got cancelled and this wrongfooted his entire weekend and the subsequent week.

maybe horsemouth and howard will catch up on the sunday. 

last time (ok in september) he'd been straight off the train and straight up london fields to chat with the masses, hang about in the sunshine etc.. the meeting and greeting had all worked like clockwork. the next night lankum etc. 

this time he was straight away off to a stick in the wheel gig (friday night) which was cool but then saturday was cancelled (and so on...). the town was much colder than horsemouth remembered it being - obviously there wasn't much hanging around outside that could be done. 

yesterday  a little tidying up round the house with the infuriating vacuum cleaner and the infuriating (broken) mop. he did a little before the insulation dudes arrived also (he has some pride). 

horsemouth's spatial sense is not bad but it took him a while to realise that there's a lightwell to the rhs of the bathroom  that runs down to the kitchen level beneath it. consequently there may have to be internal insulation fitted to the inside of these walls. (it may be possible to poke the insulation down the little gap between the kitchen wall and next door's garden wall, or peel back the lead work and drop it in from the top - in fact, thinking about it, this is probably what it needs, who knows?). 

the houses are not the simple shapes they are held to be, they have been extended out the back (and all that bollocks), there are those pesky flat (an uninsulated) roofs. 

now internal insulation is cheaper to fit (no scaffolding) but it is more faff and hassle and disruption (and more redecorating afterwards) for the occupants of the house. for a house like horsemouth's where everybody seems to have a hoarding habit it's a stretch to imagine everybody successfully piling there stuff in a place where it is not in the way. 

still no point in speculating on what will be. (what will be will be). even though horsemouth is doing it here.
