Funny👁️ how suddenly things just come to mind. Take 🔗🎵 Russ Conway - not thought of him for decades - my mum was a fan (which is why I even know his name), but I still have no idea how he suddenly cropped up in my brain.

🔗 GDS weighs in on the NHS’s decision to retreat from Open Source – Terence Eden

a meeting _without_biscuits.

💬 The UK's Civil Service

😂 Perfect - only the British.

BUT - please don’t ignore this article - particularly if you are in the UK - and as I track the latest moves in New Zealand - also there.

Some people make things happen. Some people watch things happen. And then there are those who wonder, ‘What the hell just happened?"

💬 Carroll Bryant

It’s bad enough being in the second category, but too many people are in the third.

🔗📼Which is why it is also important to watch this.

Sartre warned us about procrastination. He was talking about the human condition - but it equally applies to how organizations move, how people engage, and why waiting for ‘perfect’ means you never move. And by then, your bite has gone.

🔗🎵 The Next Seven Crucials

My answer is not theirs … and i guess i was wrong given the last phrase …“to the left-hand side:”

That said - I rather like my solution …

"Kites (Stereo) [2004 Remastered Version]" by Simon Dupree & The Big Sound Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. If you know Stackridge - you may know The Korgis. I know both. Love Stackridge. Like The Korgis. In case you don't know ...Stackridge made quirky, melodic English pop-rock that mixed progressive, folk, and vaudeville, whilst The Korgis made highly melodic British pop with thoughtful lyrics, strong vocal harmonies, and irresistibly catchy hooks.

📺🔗 The Lincoln Lawyer - series 4 - check. 🚧

I will need to return to finish - but in a nutshell - well worth a watch, but make sure you go through the first three before you start - it will add to your enjoyment.

👁️ If you live in New Zealand .. try this game ..

Talk to your Bolt/Uber driver and discover how many qualifications they have. Note how often they are allowed IN to New Zealand, but once in - somehow they aren’t ‘qualified enough’.

Isolated story? Not really.
