1st Snow in London!

A mega cold wave has hit the UK! 
Scotland has been snowing for days and 
it only just hit London today. 
It literately snowed ALL DAY!
Despite the snow, I did cycle but very low visibility.

Case work

It was very sudden today when I was writing some case notes
in a file that I felt I did not want to do any more case work.

I am not sure yet but I might want to consider doing 
permanent duty with set time frames to return to 
casework if I want to after the set period.
Though, I will have to discuss this with my line manager
at supervision. I know which case has triggered this thought,
but I might just need a change of style. 
We shall see what happens!

-Case work: our team have max.of 20 cases allocated to individual
                   social work to follow arising issues.
-Duty: 9am-5pm emergency work with cases that are not allocated,
           on social workers' absence and further issues. Often the days 
           are quite unpredictable.

...Sunflower Seeds...


Tate Modern
12 Oct 2010 - 2 May 2011





Why we cannot walk in the bed of sunflower seeds...
However it would have been an interesting experience though!

This is an enormous bed of SUNFLOWER SEEDS!
Not real but made-hand porcelain sunflower seeds
by people in China.
Therefore, ALL of them are different and unique!


Making in progress...

Fela @ NT

Fela! 
National Theatre

It was an excellent show with such power!

























The Stage- Shrine








































Fela Anikulapo Kuti was a Nigerian musician, composer, 
human rights activist and political maverick.
The dance and music was just fabulous and it just jazzed me up for Cuba!
