August 69, 15yrs old walking into the builders yard with my bag of tools to start my apprenticeship, August 2018, postie just delivers letter off DWP inviting me to apply for my pension, unbelievable where did the time go.

Indeed.... where the hell DOES it go.
Hope you still have your health and enjoy your retirement.
When it happened to me I totally switched off......no regrets, ever.
It took me some time to actually come down to earth and start doing jobs.
