Like this sketch Mike. And wish you all the best for your retirement, I think you'll love having the time to have a life. I know I do.

Woohoo and hoorah! Congratulations Mike, you have absolutely no excuse now....get the printing press out and the kiln fired up....not to mention all the other bits and bobs that you have been waiting to have a crack at....when you retired! I hope you enjoy a very long and healthy retirement x
