At the end of this week, I overcame all the bureaucratic hurdles and submitted my application for a pension, which was also accepted by the competent authority for further processing. This means that my professional life will be over by the middle of the year and I can now start thinking about how I can make good use of all the free time I have. Knowing that it will be a hard break to leave behind habits acquired over more than 40 years, I am looking forward to this day. I'll probably spend a lot of time working more intensively on music and keeping this blog alive. Until then, I will enjoy the new freedom and take a more relaxed approach to the work that lies ahead.
Today's song is by an artist I didn't know until I heard her song. Viji is a young musician with Austrian and Brazilian roots currently living in London. With Karaoke, which came about at the end of a session when she more or less uninspired tried out some bass lines, she hangs on to a trend that puts guitar-heavy sounds in the foreground. In the beginning there is a pumping, distorted bass which is successively joined by clear guitar riffs and drums to accompany Viji's lascivious voice. Definitely a song that should be heard.

Good work on sorting your pension out Walter.
Walter.....I was lucky enough to obtain an early retirement from my job almost four years ago. I don't miss work, but I do sometimes miss the people who had been part of my everyday life for so many years, but I have no regrets about the decision - and I know you will be the same!
For one thing, it will free you up to travel around even more. Hope you can make it over again to Scotland.
I was able to retire almost 2 years ago and its great, 'my mantra is if I am not enjoying myself so something else'
Good luck and enjoy yourself
