It was only a matter of time before blue aliens started following me around Westham Park. Unfortunately, this one met an unfortunate demise.

Haunted House

My nephew took me to visit a haunted house in a forest in northern Poland. All the local children believed this house was host to a ghost.

We didn’t see any ghosts but I did enjoy watching him creep around the perimeter of the house in nervous awe. I found it very nostalgic and reminded me of what it was like to be a child filled with wonder, curiosity and fear.

I definitely wouldn’t go there at night.

The Conmen

Congratulations to ‘The Conmen’ on a fine gig and to Ninja Paul - the drummer - for picking up his drum sticks after a long absence.

Once a member of a metal band and known as ‘Skidda’ for drumming so hard the drums skidded across the stage, this gig was a little more low key.

But then Ninja Paul - a.k.a. Skidda - is also a grandad.

My condolences go out to Robert Glasper’s love ones, friends and fans.

From http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/news-mainmenu-139/68-2011/12013-jazz-breaking-news-farewell-richard-turner-trumpeter-and-bandleader-

“Few lives summon the spirit of Robert Glasper’s song ‘Tribute’ better than that of London-based trumpeter Richard Turner, who died tragically of a seizure while swimming on Thursday 11 August aged 27. But like the song says, it’s not those birth and death dates that matter, but the dash in between, how you fill every unforgiving minute with life that matters. And Turner the trumpet man knew how to do that.”

Regurgitate your food every now and again.

If people start to bore you, walk away. Just walk away.

Don’t think inside the box. Don’t think outside the box. Just think about a box. With a nice big ribbon. That’s it. You’re done.

If you are a bit tired, take a nap. If you are in a meeting or doing a presentation, the exact same rule applies. You deserve it.

If you are asked to do something, ask why. Always question everything.

Late nights equals late mornings. Early nights equals longer mornings.

Hone the art of delegation. If you don’t have anyone to delegate to, it’s not your fault so don’t feel obliged.

Fun times are good times. Good times are the best times. Make sure you make the best use of your time.

There are limitless time wasting apps to explore. Don’t let them get on top of you.

Process can stop progress.

Listen to your gut. If it wants crisps or chocolate, get it crisps or chocolate.

Gratification is best served instantly.

There is nothing wrong with flogging a dead horse. It is dead, and can’t feel a thing. And you get to work out some tension.

Focus on the things that you have absolutely no influence over. Like gossip. If you want to make a difference, create rumours.

If you’ve made it this far down the list you have shown too much determination. Give up sooner. Around 4 is acceptable.
