The power of music... I've just been moved to a tearful wreck by this lovely piece, 'Going Home' by Charlie Haden and Hank Jones. It's basically the Hovis theme from Dvorak's New World Symphony, for piano and bass. Maybe it's just that I'm just feeling fragile atm, but there's something so beautifully sparse and plaintive about it that I ended up with tears rolling down my cheeks.

Ah well, there's a nice start to the week. Redundancy looms.

Hi @Rich
Sorry to hear of your redundancy woes - however, it might be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps a career change? Or a short break? I'm sure you will be able to find something else in the same field. Hope so, if that's what you want.
BIG changes for me too, very shortly (more of that later). Best of luck good sir -
Just a heads up, if it happens. My sister took redundancy this year, which was the equivalent of two years pay. Although the first £30,000 redundancy was tax free, she got taxed at 40% on the rest. If she'd arranged for her redundancy to be paid over two years she could have saved herself a big chunk of tax.
