I have no big sexy New Year prediction for you.
No jaw dropping revelation.
Just this.
My call to action for 2024:
“If it matters, make time for it.”
A walk in the park. A takeout coffee. Reading fiction. Playing sports. Going to a gig. A swim. Whatever floats your boat…

I was invited to talk about what I’d learned since my cancer diagnosis.
So I called it, ‘Riding The Waves: a manifesto for thriving in good times and bad.’
Probably the hardest talk I’ve ever given. But perhaps the most important.

I have been to many conferences and festivals in the last thirty years. But none so unique as @TheDOLectures.
Life-changing talks - and a life-affirming experience - in a cowshed on a farm in the west of Wales.
Applications for Do 2025 close on Monday. thedolectures.com/events/do-…

At the end of September, just a few days before I started seven weeks of radiotherapy for prostate cancer, I premiered my one man show ‘Wake Up: Ten stories on being alive’ at my local theatre.

Happy 40th Anniversary to The Smiths’ compilation album 'Hatful Of Hollow', originally released this day in 1984.
A gathering of the band's best singles with a raw and romantic makeover, demonstrating the enduring influence of their finest moments.

Really nice example of visual communication in Singapore - says 'slippery floor' even if you don't speak the language:

“This very moment is the perfect teacher and it’s always with us.”
I’ve just finished reading 'When Things Fall Apart' by @AniPemaChodron. Here are five lessons from her book that I wrote down in the hospital waiting room.

Today’s radiotherapy done. The sun is shining. So a change of plan: a walk down to an Old Leigh pub with Zoë

Love this little touch in the Prague Metro
When you buy your ticket you can ask the ticket machine to print out directions to your destination, so you know where to change
Very easy for a designer who is familiar with the setting to forget what’s it’s like to be clueless
