Silhouetted dawn, the boundaries blurring
Separation into liminal
Night and day contrive while skylines warring
Threshold held before peak critical
War of worlds, deprived from ever meeting
Till, pressured light, through darkness, pivotal
Accorded prominence, afforded being
Daily battle reaches pinnacle
Bricks and mortar, ‘neath, sleep undiscerning
Fragile humans held subliminal
Awakening to the miracle of morning
Unseen conflict, disturbance minimal
But, arise before encounter is commencing
Witness struggle rarely visible
Master of the night holds firm till light, absolving
Reaffirms all life’s transitional
Foot-weary soldiers, rest, for day is dawning
Though battles rage, by turns, they’re integral
Nothing’s lost while we are still proclaiming
The yoke of darkness never shall prevail
‘Things can only get better…’. Seems to be taking a while though! Perhaps there is something greater going on out of sight…although the strings do seem to be pulling in opposite directions.
My very best wishes for 2020.

Happy New Year to you and your family too, Chris.
Hopefully, some semblance of normality will be in evidence before too long. For all our sakes.

You sound more positive than I feel!

Positive is my survival mindset, Chris but. between the stable genius in the US and the lying fucker here, I’m actually positively terrified. Working like a mad thing on achieving independence. You’d be most welcome up here to escape the asylum, Chris. I do think things are going to get worse. Governments always seem to like a handy war to lift flagging morale and those two eejits are just the morons who’d jump at the chance.
Back to work tomorrow and the fray begins again. Hoping to retire within the year though so woohhoo! Spirits up, Chris. They can’t gub us all. 😉

Same here (workwise), although I shall be hanging up my hat next year. You are certainly correct re. ‘a good war to sort ’em out’, and this pair are more than up for it.
Survival mode definitely keeps reminding us that there is always another corner to turn…let’s hope the next road leads to sanity! All the best for the new term.

I shouldn’t be going until next year, Chris but the way benefits are calculated here means it may be better to go this year. I don’t know if your scheme uses the same formula or if you’ve checked that out but I’m waiting for figures to make a final decision. May be worth checking out if you haven’t already. Though, if you’re anything like me, now that it’s imminent, I’m on it. 🙂

I will double check, but I think I’m ok – I do feel for our younger members of staff though – higher contributions and no lump sum = more years at the face.

Happy New Year, Mark. Just dipping my toes in here. Still a busy wummin at the moment and for the foreseeable future. Thinking there may be some transitions for me come the summer.
Hope you and yours are all well. x
