high barnet wander (the wonderful north circular)

 so after a morning off horsemouth was away to the cruel wars of high barnetery (obscure folk music joke). 

he was picked up in a van from the station carpark by paul clark and transported at marvellous speed via the wonderful north circular. 

later in or near  high barnet itself there were road closures due to burst water mains (apparently there are  loads of these at the minute). there were parking restrictions. all conspired to make a complicated route.

back to the house (in its state of process). paul cooked tortilla and they drank a little beer - this was mostly to deal with horsemouth's hangxiety. they listened to musicians of bremen volume four (which horsemouth had succeeded in bring a working copy of this time). 

toni appeared. a friend arrived. there was a meal outside on the sun loungers. horsemouth proclaimed his contributions to the far future village band project and asked about paul and toni's urban renewal projects.  

and then off for ice creams. during the visit to the ice cream farm there was a ethnomethodological breaching experiment involving a violation of queueing etiquette. (horsemouth only sort of participated and then hid until it had been successful). they then ate icecreams. 

back to the house and walking the dog round the neighbourhood. 

soon after horsemouth said goodbye and thanked his hosts before heading off down the hill towards the tube station. he passed alms houses and busy pubs. thereafter archway, north holloway, walthamstow queen street, walthamstow central, and so on. the youth were out and particularly fine. everybody floated in liquid darkness.

no photos this time. 

today

today we shall see.
