Here at Thursday, we are constantly sharing things among each other and we thought we’d share it to the wider world. Here are our recommendations of what we’ve seen, watched, visited and listened to in February.
Reading
The debut from New Zealand author Meg Mason tackles the issue of long-term mental illness through the experiences of a middle-aged women with wit and honesty. Released in 2021, Sorrow & Bliss is already a Sunday Times bestseller.
The power of effective listening is the essential tool of good management. Nancy Klines ‘Time to think’ tries to help you achieve this with a step by step guide that can be used in any situation.
Listening
We’ve recommend you listen to the soft electric sounds of Devon’s finest Metronomy. Their 7th album was released in late February and it’s been spinning in the studio ever since.
Listen to Björn Natthiko Lindeblad’s interview on Fearne Cotton’s ‘Happy Place’. You can hear Björn talk about how calm can encourage clarity of thought and how he made peace with the idea of death.
Watching
We are late to this one, but our founder Simon can’t get enough of Billions and has ripped through the boxset this February. An aptly named show about Billionaire’s starring Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti.
A semi-autobiographical film about actor and director, Kenneth Branagh. We recommend you catch the Oscar frontrunner at the cinema (if you are lucky enough).
Visiting
Our designer Mitch made a trip to Denmark’s capital in February. With restrictions lifting both sides of the north sea, he managed to catch the capital in all its glory. If you fancy a laid back break then Copenhagen is the ideal place.
Our other designer Paul managed to catch the KAWS exhibition at the Serpentine gallery recently. The international acclaimed artist exhibited new and recent works in physical and augmented reality.
