My 2020 hasn't been great: got divorced, have to move house, got made redundant, and yesterday I got caught speeding and dangerous driving (that's bs though) so may face jail time!
Exciting times.
Sorry to hear that Geoff.
Cheers,

I'll have to get rid of just about everything I own.
Don't get excited, NOT my watches!
There's always room for watches.
All my furniture, tools, gun collection, a couple of cars, who knows what else I've collected over the years will have to go.
As I look around I'm seeing things that I'd like to keep. Some art works, a 1956 Seth Thomas ships clock, a rare mid century teak table lamp, things like that. Small stuff.
My daughter is coming in for a long weekend to talk to me and try to convince me to do it.
We'll see how it goes.
Best of luck!

Best of luck there Geoff. I could talk about my health, but trying to one up with health issues is not a healthy sport to say the least. Still married to the original weight and talked my way out of the last speeding ticket, so at least at some level, I am doing ok. LoLoLoLoLoLoLoLoL!
Chin up and all that.

I really hope you get back on track soon.
Even I managed to bounce back when I was finally made redundant after several temporary layoffs. It was not easy at the age of nearly 50 years and a 25 year old degree/experience from dying industry. I’m sure you’ll do even better.
Thumbs up!
