'in certain latitudes there comes a span of time, approaching and following the summer solstice, some weeks in all, when the twilight's turn long and blue...' - joan didion, blue nights.
well it is the day of the solstice (or it will be when you read this). english heritage are livestreaming sunset on the night of the 20th and sunrise on the morning of the 21st (at some ungodly hour).
there's been some kind of extinction rebellion climate action at the stones. horsemouth thinks it is basically harmless - it's no good the stones being there (or indeed underwater) if humanity (the clever monkeys who set them up in alignment) are extinct. horsemouth is not into leaving some grand central terminus for future travellers in interplanetary craft.
perhaps the shakespeare he needs is a midsummer night's dream.
horsemouth's album for today (and tomorrow as it goes) is marion brown's november cotton flower recorded june 21st-22nd, 1979 at sound ideas studios, new york city. the latin influenced tracks he finds filler but sweet earth flying and november cotton flower he thinks are amazing. with sweet earth flying the piano of the original is replaced with guitar (and it sounds good).
horsemouth will go out in a bit and see if the recycling bin has been emptied. he has had his first cup of coffee. it's a greyish, coolish morning but that is no impediment to it getting decently warm later on (20ish). he has watered the garden and in the potting shed.
