This report on the mental health crisis in small organisational leadership is a must-read for charity boards and leaders. Heavy workloads extra hours and limited capacity should not be the norm for the sector. www.faircollective.co.uk/breaking-poi...

#nowplaying - The Feminine Complex (1969) Love the vibe of this album - 'Six o'clock in the morning' in particular should be more well-known.

Seven Eurovision songs confirmed so far. Based on the studio versions here's my Top 7: Albania - decent, hope they don't change it like last year Luxembourg - should be right up my street but not totally on it Greece - think this is going to grow on me Slovenia Belgium Spain Montenegro
