cultural calendar

horsemouth was bored. it was an afternoon. the solution (probably) was to write.

he has a very busy cultural calendar with at least one quality thing a day in it. (sometimes two). 

friday. he arrived he went to jonnie and denise's welcome back to hackney party and stayed out late singing (badly). he then walked back (possibly not wise but then he was drunk).

saturday. he felt ropey so he just mooched around rather than go over and see howard. book-box raids yielded the turn of the screw and other stories  by henry james and genesis of a music by new musical instrument inventor harry partch. 

sunday. he went over to see howard. a bowl of soup, a practice in the park, half a pizza and a pint and a half of beer. in the evening he phoned his mum to check in on her. finds the unicorn (powerscroft road). the unicorn (iris murdoch) is a hard read. it has plenty of dread. you can't quite say what the dread is about but no-one seems to be able to free themselves of it. 

monday. wander with TG cancelled. horsemouth went to the pharmacists and bought some ear wax remover the better to restore the hearing in one of his ears. horsemouth has resolved to take better care of his health. he also walked up the road to aldi and back (returning with a small rucksack full of food), so about 3 miles all told. 

tuesday. a wander with TG. coffee out. 

wednesday. meeting of the communal endeavour on zoom. election of officers. before that a practice round pete's. post meeting a bottle of supermarket beer to decompress. 

thursday. he went to the doctors, he went to the chemists, he did a post-away test kit. he was off to a practice/ meal in the evening round pete's with .pete and leanne.  

friday. gig (he will probably walk down)

saturday. practice? - gig with enza -the cloud forest relocation. commence cat worship

sunday. er. maybe another gig (outdoor festival probably shit weather). he will phone his mum to check in on her. 

monday. lunch (or is that a late breakfast) bookended by a walk (with TG). 

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

as he walked back across the park a big and beautiful moon. this morning a bright sunny morning (greying off during the day but even better weather saturday). he doesn't feel too bad after the beer last night (3 small cans and a bottle of supermarket beer). 'the drug that enables horsemouth's writing is coffee' this is true. 

horsemouth has been out for a patrol and was considering a wander up to walthamstow (but of course he will be up there soon enough). he also considered a wander down to bow to check out the new developments (to see how the conversion of chrisp street market is going for example).
