Inspiration for this episode came from a blog post by Sue, my wife, - https://quietdisruptors.com/blog/ (Quiet Disruptors) - Yes, we’ve heard of ‘be more pirate’, and some of us have encountered ‘be more camel’.But what about being more alpaca?On a day when the final outcome of collective decisions that will affect the whole world is probably not yet clear, I thought a light-hearted invitation to be more alpaca might be rather attractive.After all, alpacas are: Calm–they rarely rush around, and their gentle disposition soothes those in their vicinity Graceful–they are such beautiful creatures you can’t help but smile when you see them Distinctive–don’t be fooled by their cute appearance, they have colourful individual personalities Shrewd–they weigh up the situation and carefully consider the options Hardy–they’re adaptable and cope well with the cold, though Welsh damp sometimes goes too far Inquisitive–they’re curious and interested in what’s going on around them, nothing gets past them Inclusive–how they look out for each other, especially for the youngsters, is heartwarming

I hope you find it a useful election distraction Be more alpaca!
