Not such a hot July as last year – when I remember writing this introduction to you in sweltering heat. (Unless, of course, you happen to be in southern Europe.) Before we dive into this latest issue, there’s something I must tell you. We’ve been updating our mailing list here at DIJ Towers, so more people can receive a FREE copy of the magazine. So, to ensure you keep getting your copy delivered to your door, please check that your address is up to date. If not, let us know via the downloadable Change of Address Form you’ll see on page 7 or 122. Also - if a colleague would like a copy, email us their details and we’ll add them to the list.
