diaries and notices for a monday morning

 so how are we doing in the 'embers?

sunday howard was out at the big empty pub doing some reading. 

diaries and notices.

- eleven kilvert diary entries for the rest of november and the tale begins of the death of his aunt maria kilvert of worcester (and of her funeral and inheritance). but nothing new now until the 15th. (1870)

-  edmond de goncourt (1870) nothing now until december the 5th

- two entries in kafka's  diary - the 19th and 21st of november and then nothing until nearly the end of the year. (1915)

- thoreau has quite a lot to say (from november 20th a trip to philadelphia and new york)

- similarly with john clare's letters and sinyavsky's letters to his wife and anton chekhov's letters - they are either undated or the correspondence is too broken up to make a good story. 

14th november there's howard's last golden glow before he moved on to distant sounds. horsemouth is listening to it now as he types this. it's the sunday afternoon, he's a little bored, but he's already been for his walk up on the common (up over to the house at st. john's well). ok he should get out for a quick wander before the sun goes down.

'in 2020(4) the pattern for the next few years will come into being.' 

so remarked horsemouth at the end of 2020(3). now we are moving towards 2020(5). 

horsemouth has made a premature review of the year (he was surprised how much music he has seen).

he saw alula down play in malvern and (backing jacken elswyth) play in camden.  charlie parr and two white cranes  in hackney (thanks mike), lou and leo and the water chorus at waterintobeer (thanks martin), ruth crawford-seeger 'three chants for women's chorus' at the QEH foyer, minny pops (thanks iona), triple negative, evan parker and bill nace, the renaissance music festival in  crystal palace ( killercorp, concrete age, die|kur etc. thanks enza), stick in the wheel and laura cannell at cafe OTO (thanks howard).

his mum has some business down at the village hall monday midday. horsemouth has a decarbonisation meeting to attend on zoom 3-4pm tuesday afternoon. sunday horsemouth's brother arrives for a visit.
