'polls show 23% of voters now rank housing as the most important issue facing the country, up from 14% at the december 2019 general election. more people now rate it as the priority than crime or the environment, according to yougov. yet little is done...' - the guardian, 19th april 2024.
the clock is ticking down on it all. horsemouth is not out bell-ringing again tonight (shame he found it very distracting. and of course now that he has not gone he feels guilty). the chickens are in their shed. the sheep and lambs are out in the field. the birds are in the trees. he can't see any of the rabbits. it's all good.
horsemouth spent yesterday (by the time you read this) mostly being hung over. he stopped having a headache and feeling physically sick early on (after the first two paracetamol and a quick snooze) but he never quite escaped the jaded feeling. he had some orange juice (that seemed to do something for his blood sugar levels). he did a walk on the common (drying up nicely).
his mum had bought some fakemeat sausages (so that was good).
horsemouth is impressed with the hadley caliman album he found online. previously horsemouth had only heard him play on one santana track before now (eternal caravan of reincarnation on caravanserai). it is great (never heard of any of the other players either). apparently there's a bobby hutchinson live video on youtube from bologna, italy with hadley on sax (1977), both hadley and the trumpet player luis gasca were mainstays in the bay area jazz scene in the 7Os, playing together in mongo santamaria's band and in malo.
the black cat has approached the field where the ewes and lambs are stealthily by means of the hedge. it has been regarded with disfavour and beaten a hasty retreat.
it looks like a beautiful day out (though the night was cold).
chapter 24 an early syd barrett pink floyd song has lyrics lifted from the i ching apparently. horsemouth is shifting to a fatalistic acceptance that what will be will be.
'change returns success
going and coming without error
action brings good fortune
sunset, sunrise...'
