'lost all regularity in writing' - franz kafka, diaries, 14th may 1915.
yesterday lots of hideous stinky (but seems successful) fucking around with the drains.
horsemouth is waiting for the real rain. he wants to see if the temporary shelter he has fabricated for his runner bean plants will work. it is not his finest (engineering) moment but as long as it doesn't get too blowy it will survive.
(he will let you know here how it goes. so far the rain just seems very determined.)
the serious rain is due to start at about 4pm. we are talking of about 8 hours of it. broadly we get wednesday off (and then it's more of the same). (admittedly according to the bbc in the wen the weather looks a little better - no 'two drop' rainstorms for example).
having missed eagle eye cherry's birthday (may 7th) horsemouth has also missed the anniversary of the recording of eternal now - first and last tracks may 1st, the rest april 30th 1973. but horsemouth supposes it is the eternal now. of the people who played the don cherry gig horsemouth showed you recently (1973 jazz jamboree in poland) bengt berger and christer bothén also play on this one.
it's the morning after. it's sunny(ish). horsemouth has moved the covers from the runner bean plants. he's going to try to get out for a quick walk again before it starts raining (which he did). horsemouth and his mum may be lucky, the storm may have blown itself out and they may be into an OK day. the bbc weather is showing it alternating rain and shine at about 50% all day (horsemouth is not clear what the percentage figure means).
horsemouth has started on maxwell fraser's welsh border country. it mentions the motte and bailey castle at ewyas harold (as visited by the reverend kilvert for a picnic probably built on the orders of william fitzosbern earl of hereford from 1067).
