Hi guys
Fans of ‘The White Lotus’ might enjoy the following smorgasbord of deliciousness:
If you saw Series 2, you can’t fail to have at least hummed along with the mesmerising theme tune and if you’re anything like me, you’d also have gone into full on dance mode after a couple of episodes.
This Tik Tok below absolutely nails it. And it made me wonder whether someone had been watching me jigging about, ululating and waving my arms around on the sofa. Genius and a great example of the algorithm at work and giving you more of what you like. And boy did I love it.

Talking of TikTok, Jennifer Coolidge the fabulously quirky star of both series, has just joined Tik Tok in style with a little help from her friend JLo.

Proof if you need it, that TikTok is not just for ‘the young’ I can’t tell you how often in my training sessions people tell ME that THEY are ‘too old’ for Social Media and especially TikTok.
What a load of rubbish. I am living proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks. You’re never too old to learn, it’s just a question of having the right mindset. You could also be missing out on something - firstly understanding why it’s so wildly popular and why millions of people are finding it so engaging and secondly, you could be enjoying a really good laugh and we all need that.
I always recommend people open an account and start looking around. You don’t need to post anything or even be identified. The algorithm will do the work for you and serve up a selection of stuff you might like. The storytelling and creativity is astonishing. And, if figuring it out for yourself is all too daunting, get a ‘young person’ to show you the ropes. It’s packed full of amazingly educational, thoughtful, and downright hilarious content.
Every time you go in I’d say you need three things: firstly an open mind, secondly time to delve into the rabbit hole and thirdly, tissues. Because I always end up crying with laughter.
Giving Jennifer Coolidge the last word this afternoon, in case you missed it here’s her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes. This was a masterclass in winning over your audience. Proof too that at 61, we older women are not going anywhere quietly. Oh yes! 👵🏻
Have a lovely Sunday evening. I’m going to go and finish listening to the absolutely briliant Michael Pollan on Desert Island Discs. Fascinating chat and great music selection. More on him another time - I’m a huge fan.
Until next time, mind how you go and ps please do let me know if you too danced on the sofa or have any great TikTok recommendations.
