Definitely, we don't know whats round the corner, get your retirement in whilst you're still healthy and can enjoy it, we don't know how long our good health will last, or the health of friends and family,don't leave it too late.
That's what I did at the age of 60. Still in good health and able to travel, cycle and walk where and when I want to.

From my Facebook page this evening, the oldies are the best.
On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past.
For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking.
How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"
And God saw it was good.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said,
"Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh.
For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years?
That's a pretty long time to perform.
How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"
And God, again saw it was good.
On the third day, God created the cow and said,
"You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family.
For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"
And God agreed it was good.
On the fourth day, God created humans and said,
"Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the human said, "Only twenty years?
Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back,
the ten the monkey gave back,
and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves.
For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family.
For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information.
I'm doing it as a public service.
If you are looking for me I will be on the front porch.

We just had a short power cut. Only a few minutes, but when it came back on our landline 'phone rang. It was a recorded message from UK power network saying that the outage has been traced to our landline which has caused the cut
Really!

Good morning folks.Good morning all.
The power is still on, and there are no road works outside.
The black rubbish, and blue recycling bin lorries have been down already.
MrsP wants to go to St. Albans this morning, our son wants come as well as he need some new running shoes.
He is in early training for next years London marathon. It will be his second marathon, although he has run quite a few 1/2 marathons.
The weather looks like being damp all day today.
All the usual things to do otherwise.

Good morning ☀️
Had a couple of tots of whisky last night as a wind down after grand-parenting duties. All that den building and seeing who is fastest to bump down the stairs on your bottom gets very tiring 😄
Hopefully get a run in before the rain returns then see what the day brings.

I did a few half marathons but could never get past that, mainly knee ligament problems........mustn't skimp on good running shoes.
