the hunt for crescent

yesterday morning and horsemouth was up and grumpy. there are a number of flies in his ointment. 

(ah well).

he'll finish up his tea and then go for a walk and see if that sorts it. 

(but first he watered the garden)

a wander down by the abbey across the fields along the road up along the footpath towards the almshouses stopping within sight of the orchard (and back again). 

today meanwhile is one of the days on which the john coltrane album crescent was recorded in 1964 (the other was june 1st).  horsemouth just gave the title track a listen. he has it somewhere (most of his CDs are now in drawers making finding them when you want to play them difficult). 

ok by a process of elimination he's come round to the conclusion that it must be in a bag on top of the wardrobe. ok no. it must still be out in the garage (that's possible). 

it was in the garage. he's recovered his slab of john coltrane CDs. he will listen to it again today and on june 1st (remind him). 

here it is a beautiful morning. horsemouth is up slightly later than usual. last night he began reading benedict anderson's imagined communities (a further investigation of nationalism to go with his reading of herder). 

here it moves towards the end of the month (thirty days hath september, april...). horsemouth should start on his end of the month lists. after all he has a gig to report.
