A Good Newsletter - July

Hi {NAME}, Goodbye July and hello August. And hello, finally, to the 2020 Olympics. We hope you're taking a bit of time out, even if just to switch off from that other constant news, to watch some of the world's greatest athletes. We certainly are. And if want a break from the Olympics or don't care for them, kick back and enjoy the July 2021 edition of The Good Newsletter. As always we don't officially endorse, unless specifically mentioned, any of the non-ClickSend websites. Enjoy at your own risk. COOL | FUN | USEFUL STUFF Cool People, Together We love this simple Tumblr. It simply has photos of some of the most awesome people on the planet hanging together. Take a moment to enjoy Andy Warhol and Jack Nicholson in the back of a cab - and many more. [Show Me The People]( We ❤️ Puns Who doesn't love a good pun?
