The yoga of limited edition honey and mustard chipz

Relapse. Salara, Pine tart. Pine Tart and Salara. Snack chocolate pudding. Chocolate. popcorn junk. Devon cream biscuits. Thinking each time that I will just eat and then get on with real work. Picking up stuff from the supermarket shelf and not putting it back.  Cream stuff.

Not moving. Deadlines due. Creativity needed. Words are to be put together to make sense out of nonsense or to highlight the absurd but it is work. Work words.

Tea. Chocolate biscuits, Buns.   Email drafted several times to friend who can be counsellor and deleted because something about re-organising the brain and the thoughts and not using up the friend's reading support and keeping it for a rainy day when I really need the ear. Trying not to be dependent.

A very rainy day. It feels like it should be used well.

Belly feels puffed up with all the junk and the mind is also reminding you that the junk should not be there. Rain and flood and things out of your control.


Things to put in order. Small tasks which should be useful. Technical things to be tested.

Watermelon and Orange to eat to try to be healthy with the sweet thing. 

Limited Edition Honey and Mustard chipz picked up and put back on the supermarket shelf. Then put in the basket and paid for with money which does not come so easy.

The taste is awful. But tasting the awful taste is a kind of reminder that this junk does not help and that it is okay to just wait awhile and do what I could until I could concentrate and get up again.

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...

Image
(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...
