1 2021

For those of you keeping track, 2021 is the product of the prime numbers 43 and 47. If you were looking for a reason to be optimistic, that’s as good as any - Seth Godin.

2 I'm an early riser

Turns out - that's a good thing. I'm not sure why they used an image showing 8am though. Week days I rise at 4.30 and holidays it's around 6.30 usually.

3 SoCal hot spot

Our eldest daughter lives and works in Los Angeles - the U.S. hot spot for the Covid-19. It's a worry.

This is great from Vox!

Overtime: Sign off from Seth

Even if no one but you reads it. The blog you write each day is the blog you need the most. It’s a compass and a mirror, a chance to put a stake in the ground and refine your thoughts.

And the most important post? The one you’ll write tomorrow.

1 Unsplash

I'm always amazed at the stream of amazing images I get in my inbox from Unsplash. Highly recommended!

2 Togetherness
I'm not sure if this show has appeared on Soho yet but I'll look out for it. Seems a little like one of my favourite shows from the eighties - Thirtysomething.

3 Early risers
I'm definitely one! Good to know, via this piece, that the old - early to bed, early to rise scenario is paying off!

4 The Americans

I bought season one on DVD and enjoyed it, went to buy season 2 in NZ and - couldn't! It wasn't released here for some bizarre reason, so I had to grab a copy from HMV in London. Season three is not yet on DVD unfortunately and now Season four is about to hit Soho. I can't miss it! AARRGGHHHH! What to do. what to do?

5 POTUS
Yes I'm an Obama fan but he still so gets Donald Trump!!

Overtime

Charles Dickens didn’t just have a great mind, he had great calves as well.

That opening line hooked me! A great read on a key element of creativity. No, not great calves...solitude. Love it!!
