'the drug that enables horsemouth's writing is coffee (when he has finished writing he will have breakfast (a bowl of museli) and swap onto the tea).'
horsemouth wrote this round about this date a few years ago and it is a fair summation of his morning routine.
'the sea shall rise over your heads and drown you all... all of you!'
so remarks nico at the start of abschied (farewell). this starts out sounding like a german expressionist poem but in current circumstances may actually be prophecy.
in a bit horsemouth will go to meet TG and go for a wander. that was his plan yesterday but there was a cancellation.
horsemouth has been much concerned with the unicorn (by iris murdoch) with its cover by edvard munch (a woodblock print called a woman's head against the shore from the munch collection in oslo, here is another print of it from the harvard art museum).
yesterday horsemouth went to the pharmacists and bought some ear wax softening substance the better to restore the hearing in one of his ears. horsemouth could do with it working. he has been wandering around effectively deaf in one ear for a long time now. horsemouth has resolved to take better care of his health and start getting his minor ailments treated.
he also walked up the road to aldi and back (returning with a small rucksack full of food), so about 3 miles all told. he went for various wanders round and sittings out in the sun (for the sun was shining) during the day. he didn't make full use of the day but he didn't do too badly.
horsemouth supposes the thing to do not to be wasting time when the weather is nice is to have a hobby.
he has booked in a meeting for wednesday day (70% chance of rain) and there will be a meeting on zoom wednesday night.
from today rain (but possibly shine also).
