Sleep was only a fleeting and sporadic affair last night, so to avoid disturbing anyone else in the bed I arose at 4 o’clock and prowled around the house for a while. The silent activities I found to indulge in where the usual suspects: - Calculated where I am with my mortgage - Wordle - Checked the deaths page to see if I was still alive - Scoured the horizon to look for signs of dawn - Read a French translation of a Japanese book about a time travelling cafe With all those duties complete I’m all yours again.

I am usually on the computer in the wee hours. Hope you can sleep tonight. Have a good day.

The third one was humorous....I take it for granted I am alive... If I am awake, yes, finances....but I end up here quite often.

Apart from the book, which sounds intriguing, you must have been desperate to indulge in those activities. I'm surprised you didn't start on your tax return!

@fleura Don’t get me started on tax affairs. With retiring during the 23/24 year my taxes are in a state of flux. I keep getting nasty letters demanding a few thousand £s then when I do nothing I get another letter telling me I have overpaid and am due a rebate. Then yesterday I got another demand for £1250 and one telling me I owe nowt. HMRC app says I’m owed £726. The King’s servants are not doing so well.
