'... compose his panegyric' (the horse of playing music live)

 'ah sir! it is a fine thing for us to sit here and compose his panegyric' 

- caleb williams, william godwin, book two. 

'at the last count, 1.3m households in england were on local authority housing waiting lists, the highest figure since 2014. about 164,000 children live in temporary accommodation. average rent increases in the private sector recently hit a record high of 9.2%. figures just released by the home builders federation show that the number of new homes given planning consent in england in the first quarter of 2025 was the lowest since 2012...'

it rolls towards the end of the week. it rolls towards the end of the month. it rolls towards the end of the year...

still a third of the year to go (the -embers; september, october, november, december). soon enough the autumn equinox (22nd Sept 19:23) and we are into the dark half of the year. 

out here in the wilds this will mean rain and mud mostly. 

------------------------------------

it's the morning. looks like another good one but bbc weather advises there's a rain storm later, and tomorrow and saturday. 

it is now more than a year since the last musicians of bremen gig.  horsemouth needs to get back up on the horse of playing music live.
