Source: Spotify Release Radar believe it or not. Usually it sends me terrible dirges unrelated to anything I’d want to listen to, but maybe there’s a new bot in town. Anyhoo, I’ve been a big fan of Steve Martin since I was a kid, and I’m also a big fan of having money, especially as […]

“When I was growing up I always wanted to be someone. Now I realize I should have been more specific.” — Lily Tomlin
A while back, I wrote about retiring old stories – ‘Memoirs vs Kondo-ing your history’ – and talked about how, once a story has served its purpose, it can be good to let it go and move on. I’ve made some pretty big strides professionally in recent times, and also had some other past endeavours […]
Song of the day: Joseph ‘Nervous System’
Source: Yet another earworm. Also a long-time feature on my Utopian Vibes Only Spotify playlist. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the pared-down graphics/colours of this vid or just….something…. but I’d love to see a collaboration between Joseph and OK Go. (Don’t ask me, I’m not in charge of what my brain comes up with).
Waiting for the world to turn
BIG FAT #TRIGGER WARNING It’s been a while since I updated here with a public post and, while it’s reasonable to restrict access to certain parts of my life, thoughts and feelings, sometimes you just gotta post some stuff out there. This is my personal blog but I don’t make it difficult to find from […]
Song of the day: Murray Head ‘One Night in Bangkok
Source: I’ve just got back from 2 delightful weeks in Whitby (I did pre-order the heatwave. You’re welcome). All fortnight I’ve had ‘Two weeks in Whitby and the world’s your scampi. I can feel the Abbey looming over me’ stuck in my head.
Song of the day: Len ‘Steal My Sunshine’
Source: I’m deep into writing my ChMC application this morning and have got my ‘Utopian Vibes Only’ playlist on in the background. I’d forgotten I’d added this a while back. Always makes my inner thalassophile happy.
Song of the day: Frazey Ford ‘Done’
Source: I turn 53 in a couple of months and while this song has been in one of my playlists for some time, it seems it just won’t leave my head lately. The last few months, workwise, the last few years, globally, and the last few decades, personally, have just led me to a place […]
Song of the day: Nikki Lane ‘Born Tough’
Source: Another one on my ‘All the pissed off ladies’ playlist Does what it says on the tin, for today at least 🤷♀️
Don’t bottle it
2018 was a bit of a weird one. G and I had just got married, I was invited to a thing in Europe off the back of my own hard-won experience and knowledge, I got named as one of the next SmallBiz100 cohort and I was offered a digital transformation project that had nothing to […]
