🤔Remain concerned about correspondence from the DWP who sent me this notification... While reasonably accurate, describing me as "The Old Grumpy" does feel a tad unnecessary in formal letters!

Random! Watching 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 v 🇭🇹 @Lionesses. Looked out of rain soaked window. Pair of wild Canada geese viewing the match too! 🤔maybe dropped in to see the goal after nil draw 🇨🇦 v 🇳🇪? 😁

Lost my mum today. 90y & 7 coronary stents but mentally agile, frail ready to go. Feeling self conscious asks “Do you think anyone will stare at an elderly Asian in a pink sari in a wheelchair?” No I relied there are always loads in Dorset No what? No one did! Live life!

Sometimes your day job sucks. Now and then something wonderful happens. Someone you never really knew or recall comes up to thank you for what you did, you said, a passing comment, nod or smile. That was all it was. It didn’t feature on your radar but it featured on theirs.
