No more work for this Little Black Duck!
OK, I do have osteo arthritis, but so do 50% of Australians at my age, according to my doctor, who was prepared to sign a form saying I was fit to work for them. But I chucked a wobbly this morning, and told AHCS to shove the job up their arse.
After I told them to tear up my job application, I called my financial advisor and asked him if I could access my super. yet (I can't get a pension till I'm 65, but I can retire on my super when I turn 60 next April). He said yes, if I take it as an allocated pension, meaning they pay me the same amount every month like a wage.
He worked out that I can take up to $10,000 a year, which is all I was earning anyway, as I was part time, so that will suit me down to the ground. I'm already looking forward to lots of stitching time every day! Anyone for coffee?

Well! I take a couple of weeks off blog reading and look what I find when I return. Your world has really taken some unexpected turns. However, from what you say, and knowing a bit about you, I would say that you will make the most of this situation and turn it into a positive.
And now you'll have more time to get together. Care for a walk along the Yarra up to Petty's Orchard? Found that by chance recently, what a magical place.
Love the photos of those little budgies. How cute!
Yes please Val! Walking is something I plan to take up again, having stopped my regular walks a few months ago because I didn't have time due to early starts with my clients. I'll be in touch.
If you like to visit me again, you can see the budgies 'in person'..cuter than the photos!
