An interesting document from the new economic foundation
A ‘normal’ working week of 21 hours could help to address a range of urgent, interlinked problems: overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, entrenched inequalities, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life.

Let’s Colour Project (Jósi song is soundtrack)
A few international companies have got together to start an initiative called the Let’s Colour Project. It aims to “spread colour all over the world” by teaming up with communities (starting with Brazil, France, the UK and India) to paint buildings, houses, roads, public places etc. This amazing ad shows local communities getting together to transform their respective towns.
The soundtrack is ‘Go Do’ from Jónsi’s new album ‘Go’.
Piano D. H. Lawrence
This is one of the Poems on the Underground at the moment…it made me feel relieved… I think we all probably feel like this from time to time!
Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me;
Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see
A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings.
In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of song
Betrays me back, till the heart of me weeps to belong
To the old Sunday evenings at home, with winter outside
And hymns in the cosy parlour, the tinkling piano our guide.
So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamour
With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour
Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast
Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past.
5 simple steps you can do evryday to improve your well being and sense of self!
