'the revelation of the twelve mysteries...'

'the revelation of the twelve mysteries from jehovah's last battle with satan' 

from a manuscript book written by the peacemakers (or ilyinists).

'religion thus assumes the guise of science fiction or an adventure yarn: satan rules over the earth and the whole solar system (his rightful domain), and jehovah is fighting against him...'  - peacemaker beliefs as described by andrei sinyavsky. 

all this is very c.s. lewis that hideous strength. 

they're an interesting bunch, the doctrine is spread by only in writing, preaching is not allowed. 

horsemouth is trying to get back to the city on the wednesday 

horsemouth has remarked before from his mum's the buses are straightforward monday, thursday, and friday.  on saturday there's a decent service into hereford in the morning but no service pontrilas to abbeydore in the afternoon (so you are walking so you are). 

tuesday there's a direct (but round-all-the-villages) service abbeydore to abergavenny (which horsemouth has yet to try). 

wednesday it is not clear wtf is going on with the buses. 

his brother's eldest joe is due to arrive in a car sometime wednesday afternoon. if joe arrives much after 2pm it is not possible for horsemouth to get back to his house in the wen in time for the zoom meeting at 6.30pm (even with a lift from joe to abergavenny). if this is the case he will stay in the wilds that evening, do his meeting, and return on the thursday when bus services are more predictable (or perhaps cadge a lift). 

this is his current thinking on the matter. 

thursday he will either be travelling or recovering. he could do with getting to the bank at some point. 

friday evening with minty looks possible. saturday horsemouth is probably off to east ham to meet up with howard. 

he guesses monday a wander round with TG. he's got to get in a chat with colin at some point. and enza and whomsoever is about really. he'll take one of the wheelie bins to see if he can get more stuff back (in an ideal world he'd get some shelves back - how's he going to do that?). 

in between he'll try and find some more books. (book-boxes, second hand bookshops - that sort of thing). he's not been reading much and he thinks it's the lack of new material that is doing him in. of course not any book will do (horsemouth is very picky) but random discovery books are uniquely appealing to him. 

horsemouth should also try shedding some books while he's there also. potlatching them away. he has to have a think about re-ordering his room to permit works to be done. 

remind him to pick up a diary while he is there. he's been living without a diary and with no fixed notebook (it's been a bit strange). 

he has cleared one of his dad's bookshelves out of the bedroom where he stays at his mum's (his brother's old bedroom) down into the conservatory. this has created space for, yes you guessed it, more bookshelves, bookshelves for horsemouth's books.

ultimately what horsemouth needs is a removals lorry and/ or storage.
