    Ha! I love this! I am for sure becoming less relevant the older I get. I will look forward to slipping gradually into obscurity and no one having any expectations of me. I could mess a few tasks up to help things along.

    Glad you liked that! The most annoying thing is when you suggest something, nobody comments, then someone says the exact same thing and practically gets a medal…..!

    I am always appreciating your comments - you get the medal ❤️🎖️

    Maybe it's that invisibility thing 😂 could come in useful.

    I’m in work today, practising being invisible. I’ve got a book to read on my lunch break instead of working during it. I've listened in a meeting without contributing except to offer some vague encouragement. It's gone successfully so far. I don't think anyone has noticed that I am only doing what I'm paid for.

    Collected my water flosser parcel on the way home from work. Popped into the shop to look at the yellow sticker bargains and spent £5 on a few things: white rolls, green beans. plant based mince, potato croquettes, turkey rashers and 2 x Pizza Express pizzas. That's mostly gone in the freezer.

    I'm going to read my book for a bit now and then go to the gym to do some cardio.
