geechie recollections (tokalokaloka day two)

'clearly outlined, brightly and uniformly illuminated, men and things stand out in a realm where everything is visible...'  - erich auerbach, mimesis, chapter 1. odysseus' scar. 

we roll up towards the solstice. not much change now. 

sunrise 04:55

sunset 21:25

ok it is raining out. horsemouth would not have done the watering of the garden had he realised it was going to rain. (or maybe he would have done just for something to do). 

he's taken the eggs down to the crossroads and taken the (R)ecycling bin down the drive.

horsemouth saw a mole scooting across the drive. it made it across and then hid in some leaves. he wishes it luck (as long as it doesn't dig up his potatoes). it was a curious creature (it was probably the first time horsemouth has ever seen a live one).  they can certainly motor when they put their minds to it.

he's not sure where his reading of auerbach will go. but it is well written. horsemouth has read (somewhere, he knows that isn't very helpful) that auerbach did not have his books with him when he wrote this.

there was sun earlier (but it's due to be a rainy day).
