Staff to Tinkerbell. Phumbling fotographer. Humanist and secularist. I am looking forward to retirement next year and visiting galleries, museums, and classical concerts. Living in Argyll and loving in Ayrshire.
I was always confused by the second line of the hymn "There is a green hill far away", where 'outwith' rather than 'without' would have made much more sense. My child brain could never understand why this hill wasn't surrounded by its very own city wall.

Sorry to hear about your nut.

A career break or sabbatical is a great thing, and should be a normal part of a working life. I only got mine after a mental health crisis.
Glad things are getting better for you.

My RTW ritual was to group by sender, then I could block-delete the crap. Usually less than 10% required any further attention.

Thanks Chris. Always a hard decision, but the right one.

Got to be more than that. What about the ferries? The cruise ships?

Happy Christmas yourself.

I've always refused to use them because they are blatantly the most stupid product ever to come on to the market. And Nespresso is by a country mile the most disgusting coffee available, even accounting for the existence of Starbucks and Tim Hortons.
Not that I've got a strong opinion or anything.
