Happy news to end the year on!! I find it so baffling those calculations aren't made until AFTER someone retires.

I think this might be some of your best work. 10/10, no notes.

It's the accumulation that does it for me, too and it seems to have been such a relentless year for many because things don't go wrong once but keep going wrong.
I'm wishing peaceful rest and easier times for all of us in 2026 🙏

It has been like this all year, with so many things and for so many people, you and me included.
Our workplaces, NHS, other companies or people not doing things properly. Having to work very hard ourselves to make up for failures not caused by us, no wonder if it's making us (more) ill.

I'm so glad you got this win, you deserve good things and adjustments that will help.

This is a beautifully made film and advertisement.
I'm not a Leica user and don't see myself picking up a Leica but it does make me want to pick up one of my cameras.

Of course! I like the stark contrasts between light and dark on no. 4 and no. 3 feels more calming or serene to look at.

This happened to me in the summer when I was very ill and in serious pain. They kept passing me to the next place and the next until I ended up in A&E/Urgent Care. it was just a horrible experience.
I'm so sorry they aren't helping you ❤️

I was thinking that too, it's not one particular line or even area.
When I went to meet up with someone in London last year with them coming from Birmingham, my train was cancelled down here and we all had to be shovelled into the slow train.

It's rubbish that it's this hard to travel or go anywhere, and so expensive too. It shouldn't have to be this hard to get somewhere and without hours of wasted time.

Thank you Phil, it's quiet here by the south coast (for once 🤣) and I'm nice and cosy under a blanket on the sofa.
I hope you stay warm too!

And being disabled in any workplace is just... very tiring and upsetting. It's a lot of extra work having to fight to try and escape mistreatment.
