Packing Up
Tuesday 14th July, where did that day go. Still sorting some projects out for work, ideally I’d have liked more time, but unfortunately I was not able to work from France, due to restrictions recently implemented, so both Brian and I are now finishing up on Friday. That has happened so quickly.
Friday 17th July, last day of work. It does seem very strange, I think that’s a mix of excitement, relief, and anxiety - but there is so much to look forward to, and so much we want to do, I think the transition from a corporate life will soon happen, and surely can’t be that hard!
Lots to do today, got up early - as packing still not at a good stage, we will do some first thing before i start a few hours of work calls. Then Martin arrives at 11am to collect my laptop and phone etc, thank you Martin for volunteering - then that’s it switched off... No big party or send off, just a final team call. That’s what happens when you leave during a pandemic. My team bought me a wonderful gift from Fortnum & Mason, my favourite shop. A beautiful basket, filled with 6 gorgeous wines all sponsored by the Highgrove Estate. So not only a great gift, but in support of the Princes Trust.
2pm, stopping for a quick cuppa, then back to boxes, bubble wrap, and brown tape....
6pm, Pam and Shazza have popped round to toast our retirement, now on a different type of bubbles, there’s always tomorrow.
