Saturday Surprise — George The Mouse Is Back!!!

Filosofa's Word

Way back in 2019 I posted about nature photographer Simon Dell and the little mouse he discovered in his yard one day.  Since then, Dell has provided many pictures of George the mouse and the little homes he has built for him over the past three years.  George has since been joined by other mice and Mr. Dell has created many fun and beautiful scenes featuring George and his friends.  I thought some of his more recent efforts would be a great way to start out the weekend, so I’m sharing a few here …

🤓 are those balloons for me little mouse ?

🐭 No! they is for my Girlfriends .

🤓 Girlfriends ? you have more than one.

Ok who wants some dinners ?

A Pair Of Shoes

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

Thirteen-year-old Monikanchon dashed into the sea of clueless strollers, joyous visitors, and perplexed shoppers. The enthusiastic teenager head-butted and elbow-jabbed to reach some of his favourite stalls at the annual street fair on the occasion of Charak Puja on Beadon Street of Calcutta of 1920. It was the last day of the festival, and waves of people slowly moved through the cobbled road while mobile hawkers and makeshift stall owners screamed at the top of their lungs to attract buyers to their homegrown wares.

“Moni Dada, don’t leave my hand. You will get lost in the crowd,” screamed Godadhor, the trusted caretaker of the Zamindar, Hem Chandra Ray’s only spoilt son. “Get lost Goda! You will only slow me down, you imbecile,” shrieked back the arrogant teenager and pushed his way through the crowd.

A street fair in 1920 was not only a place to casually visit but a great…

436 Caribbean creatives apply for CATAPULT Grant; 10 creative entrepreneurs learn new skills, thanks to Jamaica’s Kingston Creative

Petchary's Blog

Kingston Creative is forging ahead with its initiatives to boost cultural and artistic entrepreneurship in Jamaica and the Caribbean. Why do I think this is important? Because there is tremendous “untapped potential,” to use a well-worn phrase, in our creative community. I interviewed one brilliant young artist, Richard Nattoo, at the beginning of this year. Since the pandemic began, the creative energy has been toned down to some extent. Now, more than ever, it is time to support and empower, so that our creative industry can move forward – together. Team work, empathy and a positive attitude are all essential!

This amazing street art by Richard Nattoo is part of the Paint the City Street Art Project sponsored by the Tourism Enhancement Fund and Kingston Creative. Mr. Nattoo is one of the recipients of Prime Minister’s Youth Awards for Excellence. (Photo: Twitter)
