Hello my friend, and perhaps again!

With a quieter holiday on the horizon, things slow down after Saturday for the remainder of the weekend. Whatever you get up to, I hope you have a great time doing it.

If you haven’t already, please check out the Weekday Edition, which arrives in a separate email slightly prior to this one. Lots of great events in there with plenty of them at no cost to you!
