I’m not sure whether the title of this piece needs an ! Or a ?

After nearly thirty years I have taken redundancy and am no longer employed.

I first went to work at the Halifax Building Society more than twenty nine years ago, and it has been one of the longest relationship of my life.

But now I am done.

I have no major plans to fill my days over the next few months, though I intend to return to my blog and to learning how to do wood panelling, and taking a number of holidays and to simply not doing what i’ve done for as long as I can remember doing it, whatever it was I actually did.

I loved almost every minute of it, but i’m ready for something different now, or at least I will be soon.

It’s a strange thing to say, but getting cancer and losing my job may just turn out to be two of the best things that have happened in the last eighteen months, and I feel quite excited about the prospects of whatever happens next…
