🎈122/366 Not dissimilar jobs when you think about it …

straight line

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.

On a business call this morning, we took a sidetrack down the path of ‘the problem with flying’. Flanders and Swann were mentioned - and specifically the ‘bit’ they did about excess baggage. I know their stuff - this one didn’t ring a bell.

🎵 The venom of people writing how they hate Water’s new take on DSOTM is quite extraordinary. Not going to bother engaging with them … but, for the record 😂 I think it is quite brilliant … And the videos allow you to truly let those amazing words sink in.

Jax at the bar, tasting a glass before commitment .. local siddles up asks her if it’s any good, ‘cos if it is .. me and my mates would like to buy you a bottle’ … ‘I don’t know’ she says - turns to me - ‘what do you think’? ‘Up to you’ I said. She turns back to the local, he was back with his mates 😂



Looks like Carlos has a side gig 😂🎵
