oh les beaux jours (a metaphor extended beyond its capacity)

oh dear things have just got more difficult 

horsemouth's mum has had a stumble in the kitchen and hurt her knee. this means that wheras horsemouth used to be able to let her get on with everyday things pretty much unaided  that is no longer wise. at the moment horsemouth is back upstairs because his mum is watching football (safely parked on the sofa). 

horsemouth is in a slight grump because things were going better (health-wise)and they've now taken a turn for the worse. 

what's new..?

the quay brothers will have an exhibition at swedenborg house, up in the wen there will be a polish film festival (full of the kind of literary themed films horsemouth likes, sanatorium, the manuscript etc.). 

meanwhile 'plans to recreate a passenger railway station for south-west herefordshire have hit a further setback... the government...  cancelled the restoring your railways fund, which had been seen as the most promising source of funding to get the scheme off the ground.' 

as horsemouth often remarks a train service into hereford (and abergavenny) from pontrilas would be much better for him than the existing bus services. that said he doesn't particularly avail himself of the bus services so one of his plans is to start doing that. book-buying visits are his priority (it's more the browsing and the bargains if he is honest).
