This wage slave has made a succesful bid for freedom. Hurrah! I had been working at the City of Sydney on a three-month contract editing content for a complete new website – a huge task. The work was interesting – I was placing text and pictures using a content management system called Squiz. I managed six weeks before I decided that the setup was not working out for me. The good thing about being semi-retired is that if you don’t like what’s happening at work, you can just quit!
I guess I might be tempted back into the workforce at some time in the future, but not too soon. I intended to get out on the golf course but it has been raining for the past few days. So it has been time to get into the workshop. My tasks are to fix up problems with my existing model planes (see below) and work on my long-term project, a quarter scale Spitfire.
Jan’s away in England staying with her Mum so I’m having to feed myself and three hungry cats. Jan and Mum have visited Bob and Julie and Steve and Ginny and report their wonderful hospitality is making up for the cold English weather.
Patient bulletin: Jan reports that her arm is good. Ripley is improving slowly. He still has a limp, but not so pronounced, and he seems more active and generally more healthy. He’s still on prednisolone pills and will be for another couple of weeks.
