With a tear in my eye and a spring in my step.

Aren't solicitors fun? I'll leave that statement just as it is, and move swiftly on...

So today is my final day at XYZ Publishing, and I'll be blowed if I actually do any work today. I guess I had better write a leaving speech in preparation, so I should keep this blog relatively short. In lieu of any significant content, I'll share some emails that people have sent after being notified of my leaving to spend more time with my family:-

• All I can say is Have Faith and follow your nose to do what you want to do in life.

• I'll ... suggest you are uncertain about your gender.

• Oh, no!

• Oh hell.

Last Day.

Well, they've finally got around to advising me when my final day will be.

It'll be Wednesday.

Sadly I've still not got any paperwork to show to the solicitor or been able to put my X against. Ah well, a few months paid as a boot-out will do me nicely, so I guess I can't really complain.

Reasons to be happy #3.

At some point this year, I had hoped to complete the C2C route, Whitehaven to Sunderland. Looks like I may be able to now!
