Hello,I hope you had a good weekend? You may find traces of confetti in the coworking space this week if you're coming in - because on Saturday, the shop front was transformed to host a (my) three year old's birthday party. It was lots of fun.This week's newsletter has the usual Music to work to playlist - this week it's by local dance tutor and coworker Amanda Radek. It starts with Taylor Swift which is how all Mondays should start really.Have a good week, whatever that looks like for you.— Kerry
