My blog posting schedule is out of whack somewhat as we've moved to an air b'n'b before we leave NZ. Unfortunately there is no internet/ cell phone coverage where we are but it is idyllic!
So, better late than never - here's my sensual selections for the last week: great lake views from our temporary place, birdsong and some movie catch-ups.
We have a DVD player so we went for Arrival and the second Kingsman movies. Of the two, Arrival was absorbing and worth my time. I can recommend that one (second Kingsman was disappointing).
2 Star Wars Episode IX
Exciting news - cast and crew for Episode IX. Read all about it!
3 Little Richard
He's been on my mind as he was the object of a Mojo piece on David Bowie. Great piece from the Immortal Jukebox.
4 Seth Godin - the truth about logos
Here’s a simple test:
Ask a few people to name a logo they like.
With very few exceptions, people will choose a logo that’s associated with a brand they admire.
That’s because what makes a good logo is a good brand, not the other way around.

I have to tell you
I have to tell you,
there are times when
the sun strikes me
like a gong,
and I remember everything,
even your ears.
Dorothea Grossman (2010)
Overtime - another great poem (which links us back to the lake from number 1 in a nifty way)
from Interlunar
We have come to the edge:
the lake gives off its hush;
in the outer night there is a barred owl
calling, like a moth
against the ear, from the far shore
which is invisible.
The lake, vast and dimensionless,
doubles everything, the stars,
the boulders, itself, even the darkness
that you can walk so long in
it becomes light.
Margaret Atwood (1984)
