keeping a journal of time and the sea

 'after luncheon went to see annie powell and found dwarf harriet morgan going to read to her... 

on to the lower house where they had been killing a pig and the blood was streaming down the steep fold to the road... 

I had a literary talk with lewis williams, about byron, scott, wordsworth, pope, robert montgomery, clare etc. till greenway knocked at the door to ask him to come and help carry the pig indoors.' - kilvert's diary, 25th november 1870

'I could have gone on after summer 1980. just doing that. keeping a journal of time and the sea - of the rain, the tides, the wind, the rough wind that blows away beach umbrellas... but summer 80  remains the only journal I have ever kept...'  - marguerite duras, practicalities, p.5.

horsemouth was intrigued duras united with journals. duras resistant to journals. only some of the writing is available in english it would seem. 

it seems churlish and negatory to describe this all as autofiction. to close it off. 

it is 18 years since horsemouth started blogging on my_space.
