a new diary/ epoch dreams (humanity you are beautiful)

 'a new diary, really only because I have been reading the old ones...' - franz kafka, diaries, 27th june 1920.' 

'every epoch dreams its successor.' - walter benjamin (in a line unpopular with adorno).

after his visit to dr. goldsmith in canonbury house in islington yesterday 1763 (to drink tea and to chat) tonight boswell goes by water south of the river in vauxhall. but he is in a gloomy mood and eventually hitches a ride back into town on the back of a hackney carriage (this cheers him up enormously). 

horsemouth is back in the wen. he got off the train to that mediterranean evening heat. the multiethnic population of london rushed around being beautiful (humanity you are beautiful - this is his usual banal thought when he returns). 

aaron bastani (novara media)  is in 'chi' (chichester - horsemouth has never been). it is a prosperous town but the locals are fucked off with the tories (their natural party), the youth want to vote reform (jaysus - even the youth of 'mixed heritage'). 

this morning a cool cloudy morning. it has been 30C by all accounts.  right now a coffee and a blog, in a bit a shower (for horsemouth). a very pleasant few days of 23C. 

forward to;

 - the anniversary of the humming

- the june books, films, gigs, events list

- the midpoint of the year (on monday the 1st of july - curious leap year effect, a monday the 1st of january, april and july) 

- the anniversary of a number of golden glows

- franz kafka birthday

- the election (isis and osiris day)

- various free gigs in the QEH foyer

- a return to the countryside trying out a cheaper route.
