Good morning...
A good day off, yesterday...
Has left me raring to go.
I shall be doing some work on automating some of those little processes that take up my time every day.
As a result, this Morning News email will change in format slightly and...
If possible, be more forward looking rather than just reporting on yesterday's results.
