I have had a curious week. There has been a fruitless telephone conversation with a pension company, followed by a random cheque received from Scottish Widows with no covering letter to explain what the money is for. Maybe they appreciated my calligraphy so much that they sent me money for making an effort. I had previously explained to them that my investigations proved that they had sold my old workplace pension to another pension provider. I know better than to cash-in random cheques. I will wait patiently for the explanation that will no doubt arrive some time in May 2026.

To soothe my weary soul – and it is weary, what with all the football and politics colliding on our screens – I made another collage. I am rather fond of this one:-

And this is it before it was stuck down:-

It takes a lot of time to find an assemblage of pieces that I am happy with and when I do I take a quick snapshot of it so that I don’t forget where I’ve placed all the papers.

I haven’t had an ear-worm this week – Elegia kept popping in for a reprise – it seems I am still watching Pretty in Pink in my head, so I can’t go wrong with another from that film….

Have a good week, and don’t forget to vote for one of those 2 men!! Or somebody else if you have a choice.
