Hello.

I said I had some news. This is it. Today is my last day at W+K. I join GDS (the Government Digital Service) next week.

Never heard of GDS? Here's Danny O'Brien writing about Tom Loosemore and the GOV.UK beta.
"These days, Loosemore has gone from poacher to gamekeeper."

Enough of that. Ready for your eyes to fall out and your brain melt a bit? Here's '99 Problems' using film clips

After which, you should probably watch 'Hello' to calm down again.

Well, that's quite enough for today. I'm going to take a few days off. Normal service will be resumed on Monday. I've already had a couple of beers, and it's time to give my laptop back soon.

Have a nice few days without me. See you next week.

Yours sincerely
Roo
