Don't know about you but is this week dragging or what?! Maybe it's the the prospect of the Bank holiday weekend looming, or maybe just that the sun's gone in. All I know is that after a brief glimpse of sun two weeks ago, I've lost that summer feeling. So if anyone has some bright sunny pictures they could brighten my day with then I'd love to see them on the gallery. Alternatively, enter our forum challenge. This month's theme is 'Perfect summer holiday' so i'm looking forward to a fair few glimpses of paradise in this comp! http://www.photoshopcreative.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2312

It's been a day of proofing and manic last minute tweaks today as it's deadline for Issue 36. In just a couple of hours time the issue will be flying through cyberspace as we send it off to the printers (or that's the plan anyway!) So tomorrow we'll be checking all the pages have uploaded to the printer's website and approving each and every one. Meanwhile as Dani and me are getting a bit moody, our colleagues Julie and Adam from Advanced Photoshop are swanning off to the rather swanky D&AD awards ceremony tonight in London. I'll make sure I get all the goss from them tomorrow and fill you in on all the news!Now back to the proofing…where was I?
