Thank you for your good wishes and many congratulations on your retirement. Selfish??? You deserve to do whatever you want now, 50 years is a very long time. I hope this year brings better health, peace and happiness. x

I can hear you from here: “The hills are alive with the sound of music....”. Not too loud, please ... my sinuses are giving me gyp after only one rum & black to let the New Year in. I forgot I’d taken Methotrexate that morning .... 😷

Approaching 20 years’ retirement end February I still find there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish all I want to do. I wish you more success because you’ve had a tougher run in than me: my RhA wasn’t diagnosed until 14 years later.

Well done . My husband officially retired on 30 Dec too. He’s battled bad anxiety this year (whoops) last year! but battled through with a combination of mindfulness tablets and recordings on the cloud to listen to through our great Counsellor. Enjoy your retirement as you’ve surely earned it too. 👍👍
