Head Space Daily Words...

One week in, the work cobwebs have been well and truly blown away and I am, as they say, "on it." This morning's sunshine was a welcome start to Monday morning. It lifts everyone's spirits, people smile, people talk, connections are made. When I get on the DLR at Shadwell, sitting in the front carriage, the 'gherkin' and cluster of buildings in the city are right in front of me. Then, as the train snakes its way around the East End and loops into Docklands, looking North as the train pulls into South Quay station, the same buildings come back into view as you are given the perfect wide vista, sunlight winking at you, reflecting from the glass facades. On my way to work, Nina Simone was grabbing me with her soulful, husky, gospel blues - the track Suzanne particularly catching my attention (Nina Simone - Suzanne (Live));then the New Order album Technique was bringing back memories as my lunchtime listen and AM by Arctic Monkeys has been carrying me home in style. As I look out of the train window at Limehouse, I can see The Shard towering up into the darkness, through a now rain spattered window, seven red lights guiding us in. The Monkeys have now finished their turn. What to play next? Two up on the dial and Archie Bell and The Drells takes over my ears with A Thousand Wonders. More of the same tomorrow please...
