bookbox patrol

back to the wen

horsemouth went out on a bookbox patrol. 

from powerscroft road he found  impressions; faure, satie, debussy, ravel arranged for solo guitar by carlos barbarosa-lima (la fille au cheveux de lin, gymnopedie no.1 etc.). on his way back round (or on his way back from the shop) he noticed his neighbours had put some books out in the recycling, 

- a smile in the mind: witty thinking in graphic design (phaidon)

- the white review (nos. 12 and 17, 2014) joanna drucker, owen hatherley (these sorts of people - or at least, these are the only two names he recognised)

- versuch no.1 notes and projects

- very casual: some stories by michael deforge, janus by lala albert 2014 (comic books)

- justified, issue two.

- the happy reader, dan stevens, winter 2014, issue no.1.

- artificial music ed. detlef diederichsen and the new alphabet ed. bernd sherer 

most of these he will roll up the hill to the powerscroft road bookbox when he has had a chance to read/ look at them.

on the bookbox mission he bumped into pat coming out of colenso road and so he called in there for a cup of tea and a chat. 

in the afternoon/ evening horsemouth was off to a full meeting of the communal endeavour (he says 'was' but he is typing this midday 24th april). he has had breakfast (baked beans on toast and orange juice) and is airing out his room. initially he has horrified to discover there was no  coffee in the house but then he remembered there were some nespresso pods so he used the coffee from those (hope that's ok). 

the AGM went well (horsemouth thinks) and afterwards the pub. horsemouth doesn't feel too bad from it (but then there was along walk back afterwards).
