Hello

“Hello, my name is…” stickers in were abundance at work as the building filled up with a new intake of students ready for the 23-24 academic year. 

I worked out that this will be my 40th consecutive year in the university world, across seven universities, including my first seven as a student. I am long past the point of being useful for anything else. 

“Hello, my name is…” stickers (apparently first developed in the US in 1959) are also popular in the street art and graffiti world, giving an economical outlet for creative tag designs. These three are new arrivals on a bench in the park, but the weather is already stripping away at them.
