Looking forward to visiting Tunisia again soon. During my last stay, I innocently enquired, “Aren’t you due a revolution about now?”.
Will stick to promoting Art, Mindfulness and Wellbeing, rather than Magical Thinking in future!

With apologies to Arnold Wesker, I set off on Saturday morning to the London Buddhist Centre in Bethnal Green a-questing more about Mindfulness and Mental Health training.
The day-long session, with 5 colleagues and about 15 others was positive and constructive, consolidating and further my knowledge of the subject. MBCT and other psychodynamic Mindful approaches were explored, along with more meditations than I have ever tried in one day.
A snip @ £90 and recommended to all with an interest in Mindfulness.

I recommended Galleries Online as a place to showcase and sell his work, having been approached by The Brick Lane Gallery after them seeing my works on that site.
There is a local Service-User led art project in the pipeline, in which I am involved, in which this artist’s work should be shown. More details as they become available …

Okay, “back on Blackberry” or “back in black” might have been more accurate as I need to tweak the theme for the site, but an announcement of any sort does need a catchy title and that seemed most appropriate.
For those who did not realise that I had been away, or even that I had been in the first place, I bid you welcome. For any who missed my musings, I apologise and will try harder to keep connected in future.
Being a bit of a polymath takes up time; I will be posting again about my adventures through mental health issues, art and technology: the subjects on which I have most experience and involvement. There will be bad jokes aplenty, so be warned.
