We're on our first full holiday since our honeymoon - hiking in the southern Alps. It's been amazing. One more day tomorrow to Briancon then sleeper and other trains home.

Col du Granon today for the cycling types. Although we took the walking route up with is steeper but shorter!

Retirement holidays are the best šŸ˜Ž

Looks great retirement TRO

Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs)
I have another meeting tomorrow depending on outcome, and in order to protect my mental health, my resignation will be going in.

Cool! Thanks EP. I like the phrase "the range of human suffering at work" in there, too!
