don't let the photo deceive you
howard was on good form
he's about to have a well-earned week off for half term).
he will do some music and such like. he's very keen on a song by broadcast at the minute.
but first they explored howard's house with an eye to all the possible future net zero doing
horsemouth had to admit (sadly) that while howard's roof is south facing it has a hat over the front bay window making it less suitable for solar panels - so liam's suggestion (as retro-fit designer) about putting them on the garden shed now make's sense. (howard and the house have their meeting with liam soon).
like horsemouth's house the kitchen and bathroom extension is cursed with having a solid concrete floor with tiles on it that will just suck in the heat. similarly the sidewall of the house (as shown, for it is semi-detached) is much colder than the double glazing of the windows.
horsemouth noticed for the first time the silver metal chimney up the sidewall (he had never noticed this previously). the chimney breast had been excised from howard's room upstairs but was still present in the living room. by dint of unscrewing a vent (more heat loss) and with howard's phone camera they got a shot of the start of it.
as far as horsemouth understands it is useless as wood-burning stoves are basically banned in the city on air quality grounds and the whole point of this net-zero thing is to stop people burning things and sticking CO2 up chimneys anyway.
er. and had a pizza each (sorry no photos because they were too hungry to think of it at the time).
they managed to stop drinking at three pints (which was only one too many really). they very nearly got out at two (which would have been better).
after they thought about going for a final pint in the denmark arms (aka. the big empty pub) but then remembered that it had closed
over at the hammer museum in LA they are getting in some gigs for alice coltrane on sundays at 5pm PST. this is about 1am the next morning GMT. horsemouth doesn't know if they will be streamed or put up on youtube or whatever.
sunday horsemouth doesn't have anything planned yet. he's wrapped up in bed with his coffee. later he thinks a visit to a supermarket. he couldn't find a good cheap diary in w.h.smiths. enza is out meeting friends horsemouth will have to check the story.
