ok so this is the way it is looking at the minute (tuesday evening)

john fromporto will arrive directly. 

horsemouth is not clear what he will be up to with john on the wednesday yet (maybe their traditional walk up into walthamstow). thursday horsemouth has booked dinner with enza in the evening and a meeting with colin in the morning. 

and then friday he's away back to wierdshire. 

he's already done his walk around with TG. he's still feeling a little under the weather. 

in a bit he will cook some more pasta red onion, chillies, vegan mince, red kidney beans, plum tomato sort of stuff (he was relieved to find the 'vegan-friendly' mince lurking in the freezer). 

wednesday morning he's off to highams park to check on someone's self-storage. thursday morning early he's off there to help with the relocation. he may shift his meeting with colin to permit him to help out more.

the tree in the front garden is gone (this is leaving him feeling a little exposed).
