Welcome to the full retirees club.I forgot to mention that I have received my first pension payment. Hooray - I am now a 'proper' pensioner!
It was only a partial payment. The next one will be the full 4 weeks worth, unless the DWP finally get round to processing my request to be paid weekly.
Anyway, it means that I can now afford to renew my railcard*** and use it for another family visit in Devon before the end of February.
I suppose that it is now time for another couple of episodes of Reacher...
*** I decided to do it straight away, which I have now done. 1/3 off the cost of my rail travel for the next 3 years. I will cover the cost of the card in the first 5 months of this year and after that I will be saving £500+ if I have as many holidays by train as I plan to.
I just read on internet that people born after 1960 will have to wait till they are 68 now to qualify for full retirement.

So the forecast was rain at 11.00. At 10.00 we had sunshine and clear skies. At 11.00 down came the rain and washed poor spider out.
At this point we'd climbed to an elevation of +/- 1000 feet. Top of the climb is 1550 above sea level, the higher we went the mist and low cloud got denser and wetter. Fortunately this is a closed road leading to a TV transmitter station - no traffic.
After a very tricky descent, the hill was now shouded in cloud and mist, we called it a day and headed home. 28 miles, 2800 feet, 11.4 avg. Very happy.
I'm now watching "Lingo" a TV form of Wordle. Mrs P told me about it....... I'd be rubbish, can't think fast enough.

Crikey. The downhill skiing just seems to get faster and faster over the years. Pretty scary!
Did I hear the commentator say one was doing 120MPH?

Yes. I think so.Did I hear the commentator say one was doing 120MPH?
Wondering if he meant kmph. Sounds more realistic.I know they can reach 95mph which I find scary.Did I hear the commentator say one was doing 120MPH?
When they have an 'off' it takes ages for them to stop sliding.

I'd heard that, but didn't want to believe the rumours
