    I am in a Civil Partnership in London, and am a dual US/UK citizen. I have also just turned 62, and am applying for my US Social Security pension. One question on the form is: Are you married?

  • What are you listening to?

    Oh, thank you for asking.

Particular things that I’ve rediscovered that I’ve not listened to for a while are:…
