After exhausting all treatment options for leukemia, I’ve finally reached the end point. I don’t have much to offer on previous points, only furter gratitude that I manaaged to get another two years.

If a company allows you to sign up for a service online, it should be illegal for them to not also allow you to cancel online. Also, I’ve noticed when you ring up these companies they used to put you through to the ‘Retentions’ team. Now it’s the ‘Value’ team. Different name. Same old bullshit.

A podcast interview with Gary Stevenson sparked interest in his book, The Trading Game, which then led me into the rabbit hole of wealth inequality economics.

Loved our little jaunt around Nottingham. It was much nicer than I remembered. Lots of historic buildings and all the pubs were bustling, which makes a nice change.
