'30 days hath september, april, june, and november...'

and so we reach the end of the month of june

tomorrow horsemouth will be able to turn the page on the calendars (the abysal plain of the triple negative calendar will be revealed).

today horsemouth will also publish his books read, films watched, gigs been to, events that happened list.

music

huzzah! the vintage mix of horsemouth's latest collaboration with rob lawson is here (and very good it is too). in it horsemouth mumbles (or is it  chants) in the background some lyrics from jacques brel's anti-war song  la colombe (the dove).

nous n'irons plus au bois, la colombe est blessée

nous n'allons pas au bois, nous allons la tuer... 

(we won't go to the woods again, the dove is wounded

we won't go to the woods, we are going to kill it)

horsemouth is in need of more french songs - he'll have to ask around. 

yesterday a lift to the forge garage to buy chicken feed. 

last night  there was supposed to be a strawberry moon but it was low to the horizon and in the south so horsemouth couldn't see it. meanwhile the military were out night flying helicopters. 

today possibly some rain. which would be good because the water butts are about empty and the water from the common is at a reduced level in the tanks. nonetheless horsemouth may well have to get on and water the plants and the garden with tap water. (he has held off so far). 

the morning a coolish morning (this feels strange after recent weeks but welcome). a second chicken is unwell. horsemouth has put it in the far shed with the other.
