Chiefly British

I found the ideal, non-demanding music for when I want to calm myself down and relax for half an hour. Daniel Kaede's 'Somewhere Ahead' album of lilting, acoustic guitar music. It's unusual for me to want the whole album; I'm track-centric, but this time the whole shebang was worth getting. It's also unusual for me to play music while doing something else. When playing music I normally do nothing but attend to the music with my ears and mind….but this one works for me ambiently as well.

@matigo I think it’s like when a relief vehicle drops supplies to starving people. Everyone develops sharp elbows and looks after number one. Except in this case it’s not relief supplies it’s career success which these days people see as money and status. And career has become everything. I’m sure there are other things going on as well. I wonder what the corporate ladder was like fifty or sixty years ago. Was it just as riddled with jealousy or have we gradually morphed into this way of being somehow?

I didn’t know the explorer Ranulph Fiennes had taken a Jack Russell to both the South Pole and the North Pole. That’s animal cruelty if you ask me.

@matigo Beds are lovely things.
