here we are. horsemouth on a sunny day (a saturday probably) just post pandemic (they are still drinking outside). the place also did pizza (so they had pizza as well).
not all the beers are horsemouth's (howard was there also. he took the photo).
yesterday evening
outside it is dark (sunrise 7am sunset a bit before 5pm and worse to come)
from tuesday night rain (lots of rain)
in two week's time sunrise 7.20 am and sunset 4.30pm.
ok the evening movie méphisto - a fantomas style thriller serial. it's jean gabin's first major role. it's a bit slow (it's not as good as feuillade's les vampires).
horsemouth also watched blue lights a belfast set crime show with his mum which is nearly at the end of its run. it's well made and engaging (but it's not the wire).
a friend has posted a picture from an underground station
here's the message he takes from it.
look at the ductwork installers - they've clearly not got instructions to remove the clock but it's in the way, so they have carefully routed the cabling through it running the ductwork up to the clock and then starting again on the other side.
the old is fitted within the new or the new is fitted around the old.
on the plethora of things
having just moved all his books and records and CDs and guitars (and chucked away a ton of furniture, bedding and clothes) horsemouth is aware of how much he overconsumes and hoards (but what does he want to do? he wants to get on the bus into town and buy more books. for the joy of the hunt really.) there is pleasure to be had, there is pleasure to be given, there is an old world to be fitted inside the new.
ok maybe he will - the big splurge at christmas - horsemouth doesn't do it (he's notoriously mean and tight) but it's a sign and a signal that people care.
it is the time of the year for a few jollies to hold off the encroaching darkness.
happy samhain (horsemouth won't be mentioning ch****mas just yet if you don't mind).
