nothing back on trois matelots yet. horsemouth had a quick look at gribouille's les corbeaux, it looks do-able. he thinks he needs to write another chapter about a puppet show with sailors featuring bulotte the weasel. otherwise everything else progresses on keenly.
guests have arrived. there has been a walk down to the abbey and a meal. after that horsemouth's mum and the guests stayed up playing cards. horsemouth is not interested in games of luck or skill so he retired to bed.
today a visit to the village (doctor's appointment and village shop). he thinks the main thing is to avoid tiring his mum out with 'useful' tasks. tomorrow horsemouth is away so that he can be a visitor.
oh dear. a name from horsemouth's past has made it into the newspapers (in connection with something or other). horsemouth's usual advice is if you are in a hole, stop digging. but sometimes even that isn't enough.
