Whether we're wild about Walliams or dedicated to Dahl, most of us can transport ourselves back to that moment when words stopped being something we simply strung together and started to inspire our imaginations.

What were you reading that day? And what made it special?

While you're thinking about it, here are a few of ours...

How lovely to be nominated.

A deserved accolade for a wonderful team.

I am so very blessed with such a dedicated agency crew, who work and care for each other just as much as they do for our clients.

Let's kick off this week with a warm cup of kindness! 🌈

Whether you're sipping on a comforting brew alone or sharing it with friends, take a moment to connect and lift each other up.

Let's make Brew Monday a day of positivity, support, and genuine conversations. 💬

Remember, it's okay not to be okay, and a simple chat over tea or coffee can make a world of difference.

Reach out to someone today, share a smile, and let's spread the love, one cup at a time. 🤗💙

We're hosting our Autumn Macmillan Coffee Morning here at Bigkid HQ this Wednesday. All our star bakers will be on show, and as per usual, we'll likely be going home a few lbs heavier and a few £'s lighter.

If you'd like to contribute a few crumbs of your own, we'd be hugely grateful for anything you can spare or share.

100% of the funds go straight to Macmillan.

Cloudflare, a web cryptography company, handles about 10% of internet traffic and has to generate billions of random numbers a day to use as seed numbers for their cryptographic algorithms.

They do this by having a wall of 100 lava lamps, with a camera taking a photo of them every millisecond.

These are then translated into image files and further translated into massive strings of numbers by analysing every pixel in the image and assigning it a colour identifier, becoming a true random number generator.

This is because, counter intuitively, electronic computers are extremely bad at generating random numbers.

So bad, that it is virtually impossible for any electronic device to generate a truly random number without a physical device connected to it to generate the randomness.

The best ideas are human engineered.

Enjoy the day.

Photography is universal - today we carry hundreds, maybe thousands of images in our pockets as well as our hearts.

Photography is light - shone into the darkest of places by the world’s bravest and most talented photojournalists.

And photography is inspiration - a catalyst to self-expression, creativity, and critical thinking.

The French government recognised the power of the photograph when it purchased the patent for the daguerreotype on August 19th 1839, and gave it as a gift, to the world.

What a gift it was.

Capture every moment that matters.

Join us in celebrating World Photography Day.

With over one million tickets sold for the Women's World Cup, the remaining two Women's Ashes one-day games sold-out weeks in advance, and the first female football league manager in post at Forest Green Rovers, sport is changing - for the better.

Along with the rest of the nation, here at Bigkid we'll be roaring the Lionesses on to success at the World Cup.

Let's hope our elite sport organisations recognise the national passion for the women's game in the right ways.

Not by jumping on the jamboree bandwagon that is the World Cup, but by elevating more women to roles of responsibility at the highest level of the game, and creating the opportunities at grass roots level for more and more talented footballers to shine.

This month, we're collectively walking the 2,400kms from our home in Surrey to Athens in Greece, supporting CALM in taking a stand against su***de.

That means standing against feeling hopeless, standing up to stereotypes and standing together to show life is always worth living.

But we can't do it alone.

If you'd like to, if you can, support us here:

Life. Let's tackle it together.

There’s still a long way to go until mental health awareness is truly front of mind in the workplace. Alongside our colleagues at Cubiquity we’re taking steps to address that this month - on behalf of our friends at CALM.

Take time for each other. Lend an ear. Don’t let people struggle alone. Remember - Your next conversation might just be a life-saver.
