yet another 'wholly written in the morning' blogpost

 it's yet another 'wholly written in the morning' blogpost. 

and what a beautiful morning it is - bright sunshine, cold crisp air, dew/ frost/ mist. bbc weather says good until mid-afternoon (thereafter it goes to shit). sunday looks pretty decent. tuesday it can't make its mind up. 

yesterday a wander up on the common (dog walkers assemble), a wander down to the abbey (the cows and calves are let out into the fields - much noise, much running about).  

horsemouth has no specific tasks today. yesterday he planted two trees, planted two fruit bushes, moved two benches (with a wheelbarrow and with much swearing). 

- you know that train factory of yours?

- yes

- couldn't you just sort of mothball it for a bit while we try and decide when to have an election? (because after the election it will be the other lot's problem).

the HS2 debacle continues to give. now the government wants to delay purchasing the high speed trains (almost like they believe they won't be in office anymore after the next election). meanwhile the inflammable cladding thing drags on. 

horsemouth guesses we have to wait for another fire. 

what will he do today? he doesn't know. he will go get another cup of coffee and think about it. 

--------------------

great! horsemouth has lost his temper and had to go off for a stomp around the  very muddy common. the phonecall is booked and from here on it's not horsemouth's problem.
