'... the world, this vast system of contradictions, holds all forms of decay in great esteem...' - baudelaire, intimate journals, as translated by christopher isherwood.
monday the week begins
what sense will horsemouth make of the week?
it said rain for sunday but then down to -4C, -5C overnight (brrrr.) tuesday, wednesday, thursday, snow again friday and saturday. if the snow sticks (or the drive freezes over) horsemouth will have to think about the milk deliveries (tuesday, friday), the post/ junk mail delivery (possibly any day) and the bins.
at the moment it looks like the great thaw has removed the snow. now to see if it will rain again and freeze.
horsemouth thinks he has problems. back in the paris of 1871 on this day edmond de goncourt really had problems.
'the shells have begun falling in the rue boileau and the rue de la fontaine. tomorrow, no doubt, they will be falling here; and even if they do not kill me they will destroy everything I still love in life, my house, my knick-knacks, my books...'
horsemouth is showing you his 6th march 2016 golden glow mix (his first) because it's the 6th of the month and he's trying to extend out his winter solstice garland of tracks. the photo was taken by john fromporto at no.1 the thames (shortly before he headed off to porto).
are you ready for the kick off of the trump presidency? 20th jan
we've been here before people
what shocks me (and doesn't shock me)
is that the people want us to be here again.
