Shine Visits...







Claudius Pratt & Justin Moses Gunn from Shine came by for a visit on Thursday.
We ate some curry, talked about New York/Expat Life and most of all: Creativity! Stay tuned...

It's good to see that you are keeping good company up North (Shine) but I'm wondering, did they play for their dinner like the wandering troubadours of Ye Olde Europa or did you just cook for them out of the kindness of your heart? I can smell that good West Indian curry dish way down here in Germany and yes, I'm jealous of Claudius and Justin 'cause I am not at the table with my head bent low over a plate of that good cooking.

I left a response to your last comment at my place and again, thank you for your kind words. I'm the lucky one to have people like you at my back, not the other way around.

P.S. Girl, you have really been busy sprucing up your blog over the last few months. Looks nice too, real nice.

Yeah, I shoulda made them play me some music on their visit, but instead, we had a meeting! Putting a show together, perhaps something you can come to Copenhagen for? Anyho--you know I'll make you some good trini curry whenever we finally meet each other!

Thanks sis for dropping by! Glad you like their music! I do too--they joke that they should pay me to follow them at concerts cause I make a lot of noise when they play!

  One of the markets that managed to fare well during the pandemic was houseplants - here in the west we invested lots of time and money on our plant relatives. And although it's a symptom of our general mass consumption, this one didn't annoy me as the usual transactional exchanges tend to. It made sense - we were stuck indoors. And because I took many walks during the first pandemic lockdown in New York, I witnessed the fact that spring happened, relatively unobserved by the human demographic. I saw buds emerge, patches of strawberries and flowers burst open relatively on their own.  I know why I went houseplant crazy.  I had recently returned to Denmark, and my friend gifted me with a pin-striped calathea - or prayer plant. With its deep green leaves and pink pin stripes, I was intrigued. As with all plants in my possession, I immediately read what I could about this plant: they grew on the floor of the Amazon, they needed moist soil and not too much direct s...
