I'm free

26 years in the NHS and they are letting me out. Ill health reitrement and my last day "in service." A weird day and I decide to grasp the nettle by calling in the matchworks for my effects. Sarah the trainered receptionist had boxed them up and she was the only soul I knew in the lifeless place. It was kinda like picking up a dead mans kit, I have emptied plenty of lockers of dead men in my time and managed to lose porn, and other shady stuff which I thought widows best not see. Sort of boring reflection that my only incriminating stuff is a collection of staples hey ho.
Then its off to Aintree for a meeting with Louise of the Sefton suite we catch well and she needs to talk. A meeting with David Kerrigan who nips down in between cases for effect. Good jangle about the charity and future prospects. Drive home and feel a sense of relief after 5.
then its off to Woolies on the bus and get some frippery. Ally and Jean get two CDs wach I get trivial pursuit and a star wars book. Then off to the ark for a mondqay night special. I do prawns and lamb steak, jean veggie filo and pork, ally mussels and seafood linguine. 15.95 two courses and a bottle of house - each - way too much wine. Oh dear and we didnt drink it all.
