all in one (oanlle)

'to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion - all in one.' 

- john ruskin, modern painters volume III, part IV. 

it's a grey rainy morning. and horsemouth is planning for an off. but, seeing as he has just entered another period of paranoia, he won't be telling you much about it. 

or maybe he will. maybe the urge to reveal will win out. 

ok handover successfully achieved. on the train back through the rain and grey.

coughing bastard behind me. 

ok back in hereford. check the bus times and see if there's a chance to go hit a second hand bookshop. ideally horsemouth wants to get back in time to get the bus up the valley (to save slip/ sliding through the mud of the common up hill and down dale). looks like he's got an hour. 

in the end it all worked out fine

now to see if the reverse (later in the week) will work out fine also. 

but first a day off (well there is a TESCO delivery).

- a peculiarly english genius: a biography of richard jefferies volume one 1848-1867 by andrew rossabi

scope 50p bit of a house-brick this one.

it's the early years of jefferies' life (so it may not be that interesting - let us see). 

on the bus out of hereford an indian dude off to dulas (wtaf? - there's no actual buses up that way there's just a 2 mile walk down dark country lanes with no street lights). either he has friends there or he's off to work at dulas court. he had some GPS/ map thing on his phone. (horsemouth does hope he's ok)

it is strange to be in the house on ones own. there is the occasional  creak and groan of the timber (that cannot possibly be another person).  it's very pluribus. horsemouth spent a number of university holidays like this, alone in the house over summer while his parents (strange to seem) were off on holiday.
