Good morning everyone. Shall we start the week with some great news? (We always try, but as you know, it's hard at the moment!).

I’m new here. Been lurking in the background for a few days, thought I’d say hi. I’m an editorial designer - I think that pretty much describes not just my work but also the way I am. These days, quite political and very pissed off that, as a world, we seem happy to go to hell in a handcart. So hi!
