Senses working overtime #303

 1 Stan Getz

I've spent the week listening to a lot of his cool jazz albums (turns out I have a lot of them!). Downbeat is one fav.

2 Behind the scenes in the White House



Fascinating description from The New Yorker.

3 Zoom fatigue


4 Flim

This is a supercool movie screenshot search engine! Just what you needed to know!

5 Marianne Faithfull 

What she's been up to lately!

Overtime: Do one thing at a time!

Overtime: What makes successful relationships!

Senses working overtime #301

1 Cape Kidnappers


During the week I was on a school trip to Cape Kidnappers - one of the students was impatient for the next stage of things (How long are we here for? When does lunch finish? etc) so I suggested he look around and enjoy his surroundings. For instance the clouds. He then proceeded to look up and tell me the names of all the clouds we could see. It was great! He'd love this cloud atlas.

2 Rest in supreme peace Mary Wilson



Mary is the classy one on the left - she'll always be linked to her time as one of the Supremes.

3 The easy way

Seth Godin makes a great point about taking the easy pathway ...or not.

4 Drive and listen

This is great - Laura Olin alerted me to this (from Swiss Miss' blog - check it out below) on her own newsletter/blog thingy. Cruise some of the world's most famous city streets and listen to street noise or the local radio (London has three choices of radio - sadly no Radio 2 but you can't have everything!)

5 Swiss miss

Loads of great items on the Swiss Miss blog.

Overtime: Keep going
