Some good news in the paper today. Apparently 58 is when we feel most contented, so I'm looking forward to that in 3 years time, and wine, nuts and chocolate can help prevent brittle bones which is a risk as you get older, presumably as you get near to 58. So, even if I'm not content when I reach 58 as has been promised, I will be fat, drunk and have bones of steel.

20 years service anniversary at work today. More than 1/3 of my life working for the same company. Got reward points which I exchanged for Next vouchers to the value of £120. That's £6 for each years service - and they call that recognition? Boy do I feel appreciated today.
