horsemouth is back from a visit to the village shop
he returned across the common with a small backpack containing provisions. it's enough to hold them until friday.
later he will take the waste bin down the drive (and then feed the chickens).
he has talked (briefly) to colin on the phone and so his anxiety is starting to abate. colin will phone james and then let him know what the coup is (horsemouth is not sure that will mean much to you but it means a lot to him).
horsemouth just wants to be reassured that the business is in hand and it seems like business is being taken care of. there's a meeting next wednesday (by which time it needs to be mostly taken care of).
ok he's off to sit outside and read.
horsemouth thinks he saw the black cat over passed the abbey (it's back here now).
that horsemouth has much to be thankful for
he is not (for example) a minimum-wage delivery driver man with a family to support.
while he's had a fair amount of drama in his life he has rolled out of most of it reasonably unscathed. while he is poor he also has a low maintenance life-style that enables him, pretty much, to do what he wants (within obvious financial limits).
he is now coasting it out to his actual pension still a while off. (hopefully that will work).
'arguably the biggest challenge facing the world...' is global warming/ climate change.
horsemouth would like to do something about it (however modest) but it seems like people would rather have a £60k kitchen extension (total people benefitted 4, total carbon emissions horsemouth shudders to think). ho hum. ok shortly not to be his problem.
he does hope it's all going to work. it would be nice to go out on a high point.
one of his flatmates is probably off to the south coast some time this year. horsemouth is struggling to write the sentence saying that he will be off too.
