The Kiskadee is a bird native to Guyana and often referred to in Edgar Mittelholzer's brilliant novel, The Life and Death of Sylvia (1953). The bird is so named because its cry seemed by French colonists to be enquiring: "Qu’ est ce qu’il dit?". So what did he say? This blog is about two key topics: EDGAR MITTELHOLZER (his life and his works) and ME (my encounter with Mittelholzer and tales of life in Guyana).

Pomeroon Chips: "I'm Hot!"

Me: I'm hot! 
Rod: I've bought some ice. Let me get you a chilled cloth.
Husband comes back with chilled 'cloth'; dabs my face, then my head. So I'm thinking what a lovely husband. When the chilled 'cloth' warms to room temperature I take it off my head.
Me: Rod! Bloody hell. Why did you use a pair of your y-fronts?!
Rod: I couldn't find a cloth.
I have a feeling that I may have married Mr Bean. No, that's a lie. I have married Mr Bean.
