A grey and miserable start to the morning, but things brightened up considerably during the day - and not just due to the sun breaking through. It was a good job that I stopped at the Post office on the way in as the card for my step-sister needed to go as a large letter and I was just going to stick on a normal letter type stamp so she'd have needed to pay the excess and a penalty.
The good news came in about an hour into the shift - higher management have confirmed that if I put in for partial retirement, my request to work 3 days per week normal office hours will be approved
The pension & reduced salary will be about what I am earning now with far less stress, no weekends, no stupid early starts and no late finishes with nothing to do. We should be starting the paperwork next week with a view to the change taking place at the end of May.

Car battery has spent last couple of days charging. Hadn’t driven anywhere since early October and it’d gone flat. Had fun with alarm going off when I reconnected it. Give car a proper run at the weekend.

Last month I fell victim to the oh-so-fashionable gloom that seems to be sweeping the land. I'd heard that the Passport Office was in a state of complete disarray and that it could take months to renew one. Mine was up for renewal next April so I thought I'd better apply sooner rather than later. I applied online on 24th November and it turned up today, twenty two days later. I'm impressed.
A very Happy Christmas to all those peeps at the Passport Office.

A man was found electrocuted, with only a car battery in the room.
Police are still looking for leads.

Well, not entirely. I've read reports that there'll be a Sahara-style drought of grog and that we'll all be sipping tap water in nine days time. It hasn't made me wander down to the offie just yet.
