I have a few days holiday before I start my new and hopefully last job. I went to a yoga class that’s much later than the one I normally go to and joined the regulars for hot chocolate and a chat afterwards. I said I was practicing for being retired. I think I will like it.

But I have to clock up a few more years yet.
