Hi, everyone. So as you can probably see, I'm not in the office. I managed to join my husband and kids and dog after yesterday's half year results. So I'm about to start a two week holiday, which I can't wait to do. And today is actually my son's birthday, so you can see some balloons in the background. But look, I wanted to just touch base with everybody. First of all, thanking all of you who worked on the results. You probably had a chance to see either the video that we recorded with Luca and John, or some of the highlights on TAP yesterday. But certainly you can see that they were really well received by the market, by the analysts and by our shareholders. So all that incredible hard work for everyone has paid off. So a huge thank you to the many, many people within Finance who worked on the results. And secondly, I really wanted to make sure that you're all taking the time to to have a holiday. It’s incredibly important for our mental health, our physical health to take a break from work. Also, as you know, there is a maximum of five days that we can take forward at the end of the year. So please do take your holiday. I certainly will be and will be switching off from screens and from phones and really unwinding and spending time with my family. When you get back from your holidays in September, we will be launching the One Finance Vision and the leadership team is doing a number of roadshows, which we want you to start again. We know that we're really popular. And so certainly we look forward to seeing many of you in person over the coming weeks and months once we get back from holidays. So look, I just wanted to wish everybody a really happy holiday. Spend time with your family, switch off from work and thank you also for all the hard work over the first six months. I hope you feel proud of what the company announced yesterday and look forward to seeing you again in September. Buh-bye.
