the brain shell

i am a leader, not a follower and i love my brain: helmets are hot and i can dress up, too (as posted on sj's new group 'i love my brain').

i was asked a question the other day about my top tips in cycling and i said in one breath:
helmet, visibility, individual style...

so, i bought a helmet on friday, on my way to town to get some stuff for qB and, because i was refusing to cycle without head protection till then, ever since my friend's accident, i walked into brixton cycles and after careful consideration and discussion and trying ons, i got one, with a good price, too.

i have been riding a brompton (black and silver) for nine years... before, i was on a blue racer with drop bars...

the london sky lately

sow and reap

it feels like sunday, but it's monday; end of bank holiday weekend, including the leopard queen Bees, which was fun and wild at times with a good bunch of most of us dressed up and working two days in a row, listening to reggae, dancehall, soul, funk and live music, interacting with different people and polishing my social behaviour, opening up more to the diversity of life; making money (again)...
i left the studio where i was photographed, feeling the late summer chill. lovely. a bit melancolic. terribly nostalgic.
i drove home, listening to hapsicord chamber music, anticipating a creative, interesting and rich (in everything) time, autumn, life, future ahead of me.

i dreamt again, art, chemicals (none taken), the person, whose absence is impossible to digest, whose love is impossible to ignore...

it was lovely, non planned and/ or expected, wonderfully received, meticulously stored in the vast section of my memory; i live with it, i do it...

busy week ahead full of projects and possibilities...
