love affairs (plans and prospects)

'held a consultation with mrs. venables about my love affairs, plans and prospects. I see how it will all end. alas, who could have believed that I could be such a villain?' 

 - kilvert, diaries, 22nd april 1872. 

it's all coming to an end for kilvert. soon he will leave clyro. later in his middle age he will marry and end up as curate of nearby bredwardine. (but before that he will return to clyro briefly). 

tomorrow no kilvert. (what will horsemouth do? what will horsemouth do?).

ok he's off outside to listen to the radio. (one o'clock news and such). 

his afternoon got sucked into waiting for a TESCO delivery and then into arguments over whether he'd ordered what he had been told to order. 

last night he re-posted  some photos from his POPLARISM voice over for suke driver. there he is in the iron shirt (the red pinstripe suit) with his beard shaved out but some sideboards left on attempting to resemble george lansbury. all this to help him get into character for his reading. 

as usual any photo he posts does much better than anything he writes (there's a lesson in this horsemouth). 

he started reading edouard louis' the end of eddy (he is reading more but he is unable to settle on one particular book). edouard grows up skinny and gay and bullied in some roughneck northern french town. now we know from the reading his biography of his mother that things will eventually come good for him (but not right now). 

horsemouth (being horsemouth) is unlikely to tell you anything about his love affairs (plans and prospects). 

today a greyish morning and cold. horsemouth worries about the runner bean plants he put out.
