my youngest grandson just turned fourteen…

brought back a number of memories as his birth changed the trajectory of my life…

because I refused to miss his birth, I ended up leaving a job I had been at for ten years, as the boss wasn’t pleased that I had taken away time from my position… a lot of trauma occurred over the next while and eventually I was walked out of the office…

one good thing that came out of that was the hot tub, as I was awarded a year’s salary due to my wrongful dismissal and purchased it with some of those funds…

there was huge stress and tension and the hot tub has helped with that for many years now;-)…

after a number of months I found the perfect position where I flourished for nearly ten years before my retirement…

lots of things to sift through…

this photo was taken in 2020, when I was still keeping my distance from everyone, but it does show him and the hot tub together, lol…

hard to believe it all began fourteen years ago…
