it is a rainy grey day (yesterday by the time you read this).

 it is a rainy grey day (yesterday by the time you read this). 

horsemouth continues his experiments with narrative time and 'real' time.

he has two books he could be reading.

- landskipping: painters, ploughmen and places by anna pavord. she grew up near the sugarloaf near abergavenny. 

or,

- a scandal in bohemia, from sherlock holmes's greatest cases. (the action takes place on the 20th of march 1888 allegedly. it is strangely not a case of detection, holmes is organising the theft of a compromising picture from an opera singer). ok he's read that one and is on to a case of identity. 

the discovery of both of these are products of moving the books around. 

horsemouth is quite entertained by the estate agent's video for the house on the common. he played it to his mum while they had their saturday afternoon beer. they discussed what it would take to get the house up to scratch. 

today (as will be) the weather looks better (but cooler). 

indeed it is a sunny but cooler morning. horsemouth has his coffee. 

horsemouth, of late, has been watching lots of reaction videos - where people claim to be listening to a piece of music for the first time (often watching the youtube video for the first time) and you get to watch their reaction, listen to their thoughts. the model is not the radio show (where they are recommending and playing you the music) but  one where you get to watch them listen to music you have recommended.

you often get duos (best mates, couples) so they can have a chat about it and one can be typecast in  one position, another in another. it is, like karaoke, guitar hero, covers bands, a way of inserting yourself into the musical process other than by listening to music for yourself or playing it yourself. this is (of course) very attali. 

today a walk horsemouth thinks.
