Coconut oil and soursop milkshake..

The lady look at me smiling.. she seated on a stool sipping her drink like in the movies. I was wandering around craving sweet.. resisting the urge to go for the Red Cherry Milkshake which seems to be averse for my stomach.. Stress over the last couple of months seems to have taken its toll so ....

So I see the place.. with blenders and so on, and the lady looking at me and smiling.. and I say okay.. give me the soursop milkshake... The lady smile and say.. yeah.. the soursop taste nice.. that is what I having..

And so we start gaffing.. while the girl in the grass skirt over her jeans.. blending up the milkshake..

The lady from Essequibo.. she come down but did not bother with Mash.. I told her I worked too. She say soursop good for you.. I say yes.. some people tell me how soursop and coconut oil and noni good for your beauty..and that coconut oil working for me as well on my skin

She smile.. and say - coconut oil.. she used to use as a child, her grandmother used to make.. but now.. not now the smell.. I say true true.. but the clear one dont smell.. lady peep she blackberry.. and put it back..
not like some people, dey answer back text and so on while dey talking to you..

Soursop milkshake come.. and it is nice.. and I sipping and the lady sipping.. and we gaffing.. no there is no place like this in Essequibo.. and she comes when she in town.. and that yes.. the elevator in the mall look scary.. she dont want to go alone.. i did not say.. leh we go up den.. but i say no, i does take the steps for exercise..

Our milkshake half way in the glass.. I see she looking to see how fast I drinking and I doing the same.. she say she got a cough.. I say ginger good for cough.. she say yes.. and we gaff and she smiling and the milkshake going down..

I have meh salt bag on the counter ( I heading to market).. I ask her what causing her cough.. she say.. is fan, that last night her husband had to take off the fan and it help her cough..

I finish off meh milkshake quick quick.. I say yes.. fan aint good, try the ginger.. and I say.. was nice talking.. have a nice trip and yuh right.. this milkshake nice.. and I pick up meh salt bag and head down to Bourda Market .. to my favourite vendor who does tell me ting like .. she cant believe nice man like me dont have wife and .. dat i look like i does lie plenty to woman and so on.. ( i never bother to compare her prices with anybody else)

Turpentine mango madness

Image
Some of the mango was stuck on the stubble around my mouth. I looked at the mirror, a bit of shame because I had just collected an invitation from a well dressed guy and I wonder how I must have looked to him.. look at dis big man .. he cyan eat mango good . Thing is.. wiping off mango from stubble is difficult.. and the casual swipe with a hand which might have some juice is also useless. The turpentine mango is useless when it is green - it tastes awful, like turpentine.  Mother Nature works a miracle because the ripe one though, is sweet, juicy, no strings and no turpentine taste. And the colours on the skins are bright yellow/orange/pink/purple/red shades that are probably meant to draw all species of mango lovers. The trouble with turpentine is that you cannot pick it green or 'turnin' ' to ripen like say how they do it with Spice mangoes.  You have to leave on the tree until there is some point.. when there is no taste of turpentine. So you look at the m...

(The University of Guyana held Turkeyne & Tain Talks 2 on Monday 12 September, 2016 on Suicide Prevention . Dr Raquel Thomas-Caesar made a presentation based on her experience. This is the text of the presentation) by Raquel Thomas-Caesar I am not an expert on the issue of Suicide and Depression but this is my personal journey dealing with such issues. I have never spoken publicly about this at such a forum and I hope that it serves to help others even if only a small way- Dr Raquel Thomas-Caesar South East London,  June 9, 1995 As I sit under the tree, hidden from all eyes…I wait….to go. I wait to die. Then it hits me…OMG. I really don’t want to die. What have I done? My head is swinging, fuzzy, I can hardly walk. But I barely make it up and up the hill…I see two young black men in the distance…they come towards me, I could only imagine they thought I was on drugs..I beg for help. My Angels.  I wake up in the hospital. This was me- 21 years ago.  In a fore...

Going into the unknown at the Indigenous Heritage Exhibtion 2024

Image
 (The Moving Circle of Artists' work is presented in the 2024 Indigenous Heritage Exhibition at Castellani House until 30 September, 2024. ) There was no print catalogue available. The QR code image was around, but I did not have the technology to use the QR code even with assistance of the attendants. I hope the organisers will put labels on the work items for viewers who cannot access the QR code. I apologise to the artists whose work I reference without the proper attributions Going into the unknown Place hot and I feeling a lil jumpy despite the yoga routine earlier in the day. Some unexpected challenges which pile up and then come in to chill out in the gallery and find that I have to do guess work on the art and so. Switch my mind, thinking yeah, go into the unknown.  NO titles to guide you.  Friends on social media had shared pictures of some of the most striking pieces so there is a familiarity in a way. And a helpful attendant shows the PDF on his phone to che...
