winding/ wandering

horsemouth has a blogpost that he wrote yesterday. he'll keep it til he sees how he feels about it. 

above three songs opening with ian buchanan's version of the reverend gary davis's winding boy. he taught suni mcgrath. horsemouth is interested in this, seeing him as a point of connection between the reverend gary davis school and the american primitives. 

so far this morning a cool morning (but that doesn't mean very much)

horsemouth is struggling again

after his almost perfect (re)introduction to hackney friday night, his pub sessions with john, graham and howard, a meeting with colin (and james) and a great chat with enza, horsemouth is actually feeling a bit deflated and miserable. he just thinks it is classic the day after  and as soon as it has cooled off enough so that he can go for a wander and cook some food etc. he will be fine. 

he will rediscover his enthusiasm.

he's taken a bag of clothes to the recycling. 

he's been getting boxes and bags and packing things (mainly books). in a bit he will go out again in search of boxes. (he's done it - another box acquired and books being put in it). 

he has handwashed his shorts (they are a bit cleaner). 

john fromporto is back in porto (horsemouth just got the message). 

horsemouth is getting anxious about two things 

the one thing other people should be able to cover. they will almost certainly be there to answer the door on the necessary date (they just won't say so yet). 

the other thing is only a problem in very specific circumstances (and to be frank he can probably just pay to fix it). 

the thing he maybe should be worried about he is not worried about (smart people are on it). 

there is stuff horsemouth should probably talk about but he won't (as you know).

he is, of course, slightly in mourning. he spent 40 years in london, he likes the vibe, he likes the blend and mix, he likes the social opportunities, but it will not save him (his salvation is in his own hands). it is time to be off onto the next thing. he cannot justify the expense of keeping a room on in london when he can barely get down and use it. (the main thing it is saving him from is having to figure out how to transport his books).
