When I was in my early 20s, a number of people told me that I looked like Morten Harket.

Sadly, they don't tell me that these days!! 😂

Really tickles me the number of people who think that someone would post a confession about something they made up anonymously

This is great to see and I really hope they win. But why on earth is it up to individuals to take action against farming companies and water companies? Surely that is what a watchdog is supposed to be for. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Livestock and water companies are accused of “extensive” pollution in the Wye, Lugg and Usk rivers.

A quote from Daniel Crosby from a forthcoming Financial Wellbeing Podcast episode: "The people around us are a much better predictor of our behaviours than our goals or our values".

Tip: If you follow a grifter (someone doom spreading on social media in order to get followers), it will be making you unhappy. Just unfollow them.

There is so much positivity and joy out there, if you choose to look for it

It is the time of year when we are reminded of the glorious joy that can be had from saying the word: mulch.

I have never been a fan of the Cheers titles - mainly because of the music. But this has made me reconsider the images. All those lives, memorialised in a strange context. Ghost actors playing a role.

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun.

Long chat (well, listening to!) possibly the biggest XTC fan in the world! Lots of great stories, culminating in the time he had a cup of tea with Andy Partridge! #sellngvinyl

Keeping score on a Teams call is the direction of travel. Looks like you’ve picked the low hanging fruit there, though.

I also met a young man who started a business, in addition to a full time job, to promote mental health and social wellbeing.

There is so much negativity in the news and social media. In real life, there is also huge amounts of kindness and love. It just doesn't get reported.

Today I met a charity who have had great success helping young people at a boxing gym. If other boxing gyms want to do the same, they give them everything they need, for free.

In a world where many wealthy people use their money to make more money, this was so uplifting
