Today has been a very good day.
Ribble have confirmed that they have processed my Cycle to Work voucher and all I've got to do now is wait until August for delivery
My partial retirement request appears to have been formally accepted as it has been forwarded on to the Pensions Team to process the details and work out the exact figures for my pension & lump sum options.

don't retire before August?

I'm usually up about that time, I get up to unlock the door for my Good Ladies carer, then go back to bed till she arrives, she was here at half six this morning.

Once upon a time, I used to be up at 02:00 / 03:00 on work days.. Occasionally even earlier. That's supermarket deliveries for you 😏
For the last 7 years, though, I've been on late shifts, midday at present, so I'm not up until 07:15 / 07:45.

I'm retired now so no longer need to be up for work.

Are you winding down to retirement?

They used to run work experience for kids at school . Why don't they run retirement experience for workers ?

I am, but as long as I can do what I do, I'll stick with it. There's a lovely bunch of lads & lasses where I work so I think of it as a social event, not a slog 👍

Morning .
Another grey day . I'm getting fed up of this living in a Scandinavian crime drama !
I think I will go and feed the birds .

I think some firms do and also some local authorities. Read that somewhere but cannot remember any detail.

Nice to hear of somebody who likes their job. Too many seem to hate it.
