Won’t be surprised to hear I had a BP check cause of my meds - well down since 6 months ago.

I officially retired at the start of September 2020, but was blessed with a 6 week summer holiday leading up to that date, so felt like I retired at the start of summer rather than the end of it.

LinkedIn has been announcing my 38th work anniversary today, even though it’s still a couple of weeks away. This happens every year and I get loads of congrats messages. It’s probably my only Linked In activity all year. Some wag today asked when I get a carriage clock. |

To be fair the company is nothing like the one I joined. Although I have done broadly the same role since 1999 it’s actually very different and has gone through about four big changes.

Seems there's a new online site for NI top ups ... "It just got easier to top up your state pension" thetimes.co.uk |
