Senses working overtime #333

1 An accidental collection - Haruki Murakami

This shirt is from the Ventura Surf Shop, in Ventura County, an affluent surfing mecca near Santa Barbara. It sounds pretty nice, but will going there really improve your life? That much I can’t say.

2 The best cover letter ever - read by Benedict Cumberbatch

3 Refusal to mourn 

In lieu of
flowers, send
him back.

Andrea Cohen (2021)

4 Kickback City - Rory Gallagher




I've been a fan of Rory's for a long long time. My lovely cousin Christine in the UK gave me this for my birthday this week. It's a triple CD pack - a pulp fiction/crime noir novella by Ian Rankin and 2 CDs of Rory (a compilation of studio tracks, and one live CD). It's a pretty cool idea - Rory's favourite writing genre and his music.

5 Something's missing - John Mayer



Something great about this song from his Heavier Things album. It's been on repeat in the Purdmobile this week.


Overtime: The last word

"Some people think that as soon as you plant a tree, it must bear fruit. We must allow it to grow a bit."
