What's made your day today?

Earlier I caught my daughter humming the tune to Roundabout.

Apparently its the outro to an Anime show that she's really into.

My daughter singing a Yes tune! Never thought I'd see the day

BBC 5 Live News - "the Consumer Price Index jumped by 9% in April"

Yesterday was seeing the Von Hertzen Brothers in Nottingham - Mrs S ended up with Mikko Von H laying back across her shoulder, but she thinks he was more interested in the Finnish PM lookalike to her left.

Found a picture of it. You can just see my big conk to the left

It's where it should've gone in the first place!

I'm now retired 

No more wage slavery.
No more facing driving up an M1 packed with imbeciles in vehicles.
No more spending all day with people I'd rather impale on the horns of doom.

I'm FREE!, FREE!!, FREE!!!

Free to do all the DIY jobs Mrs S tells me to...

[Slim]

Wow nice, I really wish I could do that. Certainly I've been thinking about it for a couple of years but it'll be a few more before I can actually do it.

Congrats!

Congratulations!

I'm enjoying my work at the moment but increasingly my thoughts turn to retirement. I am looking at August 2024 when I will turn 61. At the moment I'm banging the max. into the pension scheme in order to secure the most comfortable retirement possible.
Can't wait to get up every morning and decide what I want to do with the day ahead.

Congrats - welcome to the club. Soon you'll wonder how you managed to find time to go to work.

Thank you.
I had got 2026 pencilled in as my retirement year, but my dad's demise has helped me bring it forward. I kept telling him to spend his money, but he ignored me. Hey-ho.

Got to knuckle down now and get Probate done and dusted or I'll be selling my body round town...

Congrats Nick - I'm sure I'll have to keep going until I'm not able to or I get kicked out.  How much of all this newly available time will you devote to cycling?

[Basspedalman]

Well done Nick, I am way off retirement yet but now seriously planning for a 'post work' life..... Looking to run my business up for two years or so and then find a buyer. Stick with it for a further transition year and then just do a bit of consulting..... or insulting!

Congrats Nick.
Poor Mrs S will throw you out the house to get some peace and quiet.

As much as is possible Or as much as I dare...

Mrs S is still working School reception in a morning, clerk to Governor's work in an afternoon, so until she quits the morning job at the end of Summer term she won't be seeing - or hearing - much more of me.

Looks like you will be making sure she will have a meal on the table when she gets back from work, bit of cleaning in the day as well
