so where is our boy kilvert on this day in 1872?
he's at the morning pantomime with his niece katie in drury lane. the day before he had been at an exhibition of paintings at burlington house (zurbaran/ probably this danby). tomorrow he's off to dulwich gallery and then back into town.
meanwhile in millstone grit
glyn hughes has mostly been concerned with painter and writer william holt (and his horse trigger) seen here in a film by sam hanna. that's chapter 3. in chapter 4 he is trapped in todmorden by an out of season snowstorm (and then sets off on his journey). chapter 5 is the brontes and sylvia plath.
it is a bright neo-autumnal day before. horsemouth may well go up for a wander on the common (no snow here yet. if anything milder). snow (or frost at least) on the black mountains.
horsemouth is checking out the world at one. later zoom beer with howard. a discussion of municipal art (two examples - concrete sculptures from manchester and ceramic panels from rochdale).
horsemouth (howard noted) was a bit quiet. howard has a new ending for theolonius (and very good it is too).
he then watched a documentary on the joys of the 7" single (the 45) and a bit of the walls of malapaga (on the run jean gabin rocks up in post war genova).
it's the morning. a light dusting of snow (looks like) and the outside taps are frozen. he has fed and watered the chickens. in the blue skies airplanes perform various vectors.
