And that's a wrap. After 38 years I'm putting down the pen, closing the keyboard and stepping into retirement. The full pipe and slippers malarkey, just without the pipe and slippers.
I generally choose to attend one non-family christmas event each year. In 2019 it was interrupted by bushfires, in 2020 by Northern Beaches lockdown, in 2021 the venue has been flooded. #msgfromtheuniverse

sometimes we forget how lucky we are: bus to Castlereagh Imaging, x-ray taken, films handed over, bus home. Total time - 56 minutes. Out of pocket expense $2.26 for bus.

I am having a coffee so strong that I am reminded of the French truck driver, who after drinking a similarly strong brew said "Now I am ready - for love, for life, for war!"

Ok - seriously weird. Dreamed last night of old friend from university (not a romantic friend, entirely platonic). Not thought about him in years. Facebook this morning suggests his wife as a friend. (cue creepy music)
Scooping the #Lizzies2020 pool @SaysSmithy - congratulations Paul, richly deserved.
