and sparrows raided the sunflowers

horsemouth is back from max's 60ieth (and scarecrow booklaunch) in spitalfields city farm. 

he travelled down early to bethnal green railway station and then scouted the area for a while. mostly in search of shade. he got a text from minty and they arranged to meet at whitechapel library and then go for coffee at rinkoffs. 

this left horsemouth with a bit of a hurried walk back for the start of max's thing. he got a text from howard to say that he was going.  he bumped into micalef on his way.

and then they were there and gradually everyone was there. micalef performed some scarecrow themed poetry and glyn and a friend provided the music (english country dance stuff with perhaps a breton tune thrown in there).  and sparrows raided the sunflowers.

howard headed off back to the whitechapel gallery.

in the end they all packed up and headed off to their usual pub. on the way horsemouth helped max drop his as yet unsold books off at his beautiful flat. (worthy of john soanes).

at the pub a discussion of tv detective series - and the terms copwashing and copaganda. the squatting days etc. etc. 

eventually himself darshavini and john cunningman headed off in the same general direction towards their respective buses and tube stations (leaving max and micalef etc. still at it).  

today a walk (much of it familiar to horsemouth).

and then on the morrow back to the wilds.
