Where business and the arts meet, making work better together.
I took this photo of Carole many years ago at the Hat Fair in Winchester. It reminds me of a lovely day out.
Today we are off to Littleheath Woods. Keira wants to go there, write a few words of love on a tag, tie it to a balloon and release it up into the sky.
Who am I to disagree with that?
Happy Sunday – whatever you are up to, I hope you enjoy it.
I’m out and about today having some useful fun. I thought I’d take the opportunity to replay some of my Youtube highlights from 2012, a kind of Christmas Top 5 if you will. Although there are no Christmas songs in the compilation as I haven’t done one this year. Whatever – here we go:
In at number five is my rant about Currys inability to unsubscribe me from their mailing lists. This video got picked up by the very lovely Mark Webb at Dixons who helped relieve the email pain, for which many Yuletide thanks.
At number four is a proper headbanger of a tune written for my lovely friend and adventurer Flora Marriott. At the time, Flora was in the midst of a strategic planning fest and I hoped to distract her, just a little.
Crashing in at number three is this 30 second Flipagram slideshow from my 2012 US tour. So many friends and memories, what a mighty fine experience.
At number two is the version of Livable Lives I performed at Workplace Trends in London, October 2012. Neil Usher wrote the lyrics and because I fancied an extra challenge I rearranged this version on the fly, making some small lyrical and musical changes as I went along. Nerve racking stuff!
Topping the chart is my National Pie Week anthem. This took literally seconds to write and it is my Youtube ukulele debut. A rocking tune that I hope will go on to become the bastion of pie week anthems for the future.
So there you have it, my personal Christmas top five, with not a Christmas song in sight 🙂
Man there’s some weirdos out there. And after a wander through the search terms that people use to reach my blog, it seems some of them aren’t so very far away. You’re not one of them, are you? Of course not, you’re way too smart. And because I know you’re curious too, here’s a list of some of the oddest search terms I’ve seen around here the past few days:
1. HR Halloween ‘unhuman’ resources – it’s getting close to that time of year again folks
2. Zombie HR – see number 1
3. Stop doing things in the post room – yes seriously, please stop. I mean sending letters and stuff is so last century
4. Doug and Voldemort – we’re best buds
5. Homer Simpson’s certificate of excellence – we’re biiiig on employee recognition
6. Razzle magazine big potatoes no teeth – OK you got me – I have no idea
7. Modern gyms suck – nuff said
8. Cyclists tongue out – I’m good with this one, we should all stick our tongues out more
9. Running mummies – I’m unsure if this is about mums getting some exercise and/or halloween – maybe it’s both?
10. We’re outta here – this seems like a good place to stop
How about you – had any weirdos drop by lately?
