Hi there,
A change is as good as a rest, they say. One evening recently we dashed down to the beach to try and catch the sunset. We just missed it but the evening glow, still sea and gentle peace there was beautiful. It could be the beach, a forest, a local park or walk, where do you find somewhere inspiring to recharge?

brain food
The art of rephotography is an interesting one. Some show huge changes and others not so much. It’d be fun to give it a go.
We’ve had the revival of vinyl and now it’s the turn of cassettes. This lovely little film shows the last cassette factory in America. Like the guy says in it, "Digital is great, you buy it, enjoy it, but there's nothing to go back to". I see what he means. Memory is so tied to nostalgia which is better with something tangible. Plus - mix tapes!
clever tools
Drawings and sizes of nearly everything
If you have ever needed to know the exact size of a tennis court, then this site’s for you. It includes drawings and dimensions of loads and loads of different things and even people, from Lady Gaga to standing desks. With categories also covering sports, technology, animals and plants.
If you shop a lot on amazon it easy to get drawn into all the side deals, like 'other people bought this'. I know I do. This clever chrome extension gets rids of all the things on an amazon page you don't need to actually look at. In fact the search bar looks more like the Google home page.
fun stuff
So remember when you were a kid and you played tag/chase/it with your mates. Well now it's gone ultra-competitive - as in a cross between parkour and ninja warrior. Great to watch, just remember to breathe!
In this time of your whole social life being through a webcam, here's a nice thing to find out - your web cam age! The site needs access to your camera (so it can see you beautiful face!), then will tell you how old you look! Good luck!
