a beautiful sunrise over a frosty landscape

 'I looked out at dawn.' kilvert is back at clyro. 

so horsemouth's coming back to the wen is looking more like the 12th feb. 

returning to the wilds on the 21st. 

the limiting factor is the buses - in an ideal world there would be a bus from and to the door in the wilds. for this to be the case  this requires travelling on a monday, thursday or friday. now horsemouth has no problem walking back from pontrilas to abbeydore if needs be (e.g. if he travels on a saturday) but ideally not. 

horsemouth would like to get out and about and get some more books 

but they have to be random browsed books and there's not much point getting a bus to hereford (or abergavenny) and back just to go book-shopping there  (the selection just isn't as magically good as it will be in the wen). particularly if he will soon be visiting the wen. 

plus if he returns via hereford or abergavenny he will have time to kill while waiting for the bus that he can use to go book-buying (or he could just hide out in the pub). 

the only situation he really doesn't want to be in is the 'there's no buses (at all) because it's a bank-holiday' situation (he has faced that particular horror and paid the cab-fare, he never wants to face it again). 

last night horsemouth watched sam peckinpah's pat garrett and billy the kid. 

he's feeling a bit down. the retrofit reports are in but what they mean doesn't feel any clearer. quite how much it will all cost is not that much clearer. ah well fuck it. 

so how does this look in the morning.

well it's a beautiful sunrise over a frosty landscape. 

the meetings with house members over zoom should take place next week (with perhaps some the week after). the reports are in ahead of the decision by DESNZ. everything is ready for the next stage. horsemouth is letting his personal frustrations and irritations get in the way of business. 

tonight (hopefully) the bell-ringing.
