horsemouth is back in the wilds

an entirely written in the morning blogpost. 

horsemouth dragged his wheelie bin across the baking plains of the park and up the hill to clapton railway station. once he'd wrangled it down the stairs and into the station he got into a flow with it and it all got much easier. he had entered the air conditioned subterranean city (a ticketed region of rapid mass transport). exiting this he found himself at paddington station. 

had he taken his original intended route he would have had to get out of the train at charlbury and get on a rail replacement bus, instead he got his traditional route via newport (this was probably a mistake but it was more convenient). 

at newport there was a sea breeze, at hereford a very efficient dash to the bus stop and then a wait for the bus.

horsemouth is thus back in the wilds. 

once back on the homestead horsemouth brought in the peas (the first lot - he really should have got them in before he went away when they would have been more tender now they will require boiling). he  watered the garden. he dug up some beetroot. the spinach needs sorting out. caterpillars have eaten the cabbage. the runner beans are doing well. he hasn't checked on the damsons yet. 

he has just been out to take the milk to the fridge in the garage. he has realised he should go and let the chickens out. 

he will do this now. get a fresher cup of coffee and return to this blog after he has done that. 

he's back. he's just read an article on the perils of spray foam insulation. 

so what was all this wheelie binning across hackney designed to achieve? the installation you see before you. - horsemouth must install some book storage to enable him to have the books with him that he wants to read. 

he will bring some more next time (of course it is unlikely he can move his whole collection in this manner). 

that said the selection has brought is a bit random including some books he has had for a while but not read - but that might work well

he has brought some notebooks also in case any ideas occur to him.
