Blue morning

I have finally applied for the Early Departure scheme that might allow me to escape from the office I’ve worked in for more than twelve years. But the relatively modest handout will not last long, and how can I avoid becoming an employee again ?
Heather did not seem bothered as she’s too busy planning a family holiday to Turkey; we’re going to Majorca at the same time, which will be hot and busy. It would be better to go in cooler June or September, but it’s virtually illegal to take your kids out of school during term time.
This morning is a blue miracle after all the rain and floods of a miserable summer, and there was an autumnal chill for the motorbike ride on my Velvet 250 all the way from Yorkshire Wolds to the ancient city of York.
Our Horse chestnut has rarely looked more magnificent from this third floor office window; I struggle with the uncertainties of a future without lovely Heather – the person who I’ve consistently failed to reach over these last years of terminal boredom in the workplace.
