several ill-assorted companions go on a quest

'we are receiving our portion of the infinite. the art of life! was there ever anything memorable written upon it?'  - thoreau, journals,  on this day in 1851. 

'fanny and dora came by the 4.10 train in very good form except that dora had a headache. fanny promises to play the harmonium in the church for us next sunday and we went to the church to practice before supper.'  - kilvert, thursday 7th september 1871.

tonight a full moon 19: 42 BST (the one last night looked beautiful)

the next 3 are super moons - low to the horizon and thus appearing very large. 

7th october – 18:20 BST - harvest moon 

5th november – 15:55 UTC

4th december – 14:48 UTC

and because the full moon in december is early so is the one in january and thus we can expect 13 full moons in 2026 (woo-hoo). 

horsemouth is reading brian aldiss's non-stop (which he is finding strangely similar to douglas adams's watership down). several ill-assorted companions go on a quest. 

saturday he walked up the hill to fetch a pail of water? 

no, to deliver some eggs. there's an art exhibition thing going on all over herefordshire this week. as he passed the abbey they were setting up. as usual horsemouth is keener on the idea of this than on actually visiting anything. there's music stuff too - which he should get out and see.

last night a zoom beers chat with howard mostly about triangles - ok no, mostly about steering clear of the topic of work. howard has just finished to the lighthouse. 

above vetiver (a band of youngsters) and their version of hurry on sundown by hawkwind (this horsemouth always assumed to be one of dave brock's busking anthems). the video features footage from social seminar:tom (1972) a UCLA made public health film on hippies and drugs. 

this morning it is raining. horsemouth is not sure what he will do today. he will make plans for next week.
