a propos: the poetic packaging : Keats as only HE could rave…two hundred years ago agogo…when he was stricken with TBC..(which made him so much more craving for paradise foods, rare & only seasonally available in his time, even in England, where the Gulf Stream, set in the Silver Sea, makes for much milder temperatures…(yes! until the jet stream from our melting Arctic super fridge will derail it, thanks to : global warning: GLOBAL WARMING…)

So let’s be G O O D and live more COOOL – literally… and R E A -L L Y, PLEASE

Here comes my wise-ol’ woman’s ALTER EGO : LIVE LIKE EVE O’, LUTION, otherwise known as EVE ADAMS, for a day at a time, let’s call it , SALAD DAYS GAME… e.g.

NO SLAVING OVER A HOT STOVE (except for microwaving: sweet or not potatoes, coffee & tea, cacao/mocha mushrooms …which takes only minutes, not fossil-powered hours..)

My blog diary BLOG EN BLOC- AT LAST! – T O U N – LOCK! ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK…WISH ME WELL,,,AND I WISH Y O U WELL….WE CAN S H A R E EACH OTHER’S W E L L B E I N G.

IT’S ONLY 3 MONTHS TO YEAR’S END! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE FAT-AS-CAN-BE SANTA CLAUSES TAKING OVER, AS A COCA-COLA AD CAMPAIGN – WHAT AN ABSURDITY HERE IN THE TOP AUSSIE SUMMERTIME… (WE JUST HAD XMAS-IN-JULY! TURKEY/PUD & GLUEH-WINE -THANKS, A L D I !)

BUT BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO M E : WHY ON EARTH DID I BECOME A COVER GIRL ON MY OWN BOOK : COLORIFIC MANIFESTO IN MY OLDEN DAYS? IT’S THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY SINCE I’ VE HAD A FLU ! – IN BALI – OF ALL PLACES…SO I SPENT MY TIME THERE, RATHER MIND-FOGGY, & LYING DOWN A LOT, AND YET, IN A TYPICALLY LAID-BACK AUSSIE WAY.. (WHICH MY EDITOR, WHO TOOK THE PHOTO, FOUND WAS THE BEST ENTRY TO OPEN THE PAGES TO MY OWN LITTLE ODYSSEY AS A LIFELONG F E M I N I S T A..).

NB: I THINK I OWE YOU TO TELL THE FULL TITLE: ” A COLORIFIC MANIFESTO

For Women’s Waist & Disease Control” ! AND THEREBY HANGS A TALE…(to FOLLOW, BIT BY BIT I PROMISE…)
