We have lovely clear skies down on the beach. It was rather beautiful last night.

Definitely Friday, a weekend spent at home too, that'll make a nice change.

I have volunteered to come and help out Saturday morning, well I say help it's more catching up with gossip on the other shift and eating bacon butties

I think it may be more a question of pollution. Where I live I have noticed more passenger jets flying over leaving vapour trails, some times they just dissipate while other times they spread and form a milky cloud layer. During our week stay down here I have only seen three jets.

Its probably a combination of both.

We're home. The A41 was a bit slow, too many tractors, and we got tangled up in the aftermath of a crash on the M6. But all in all it was a fairly straightforward trip.

This old man's pension thing is good @potsy - you should try it

I applied for mine just before we went away.

Don't tell Potsy but I don't get my state one for a few years, but I am drawing my private one that I've been paying into since I was about 12 (or so it seems)

I cashed in a pension and I've been living off it since last Xmas.

My contributions to my personal pension started in my late twenties. I think I can start claiming my state pension in about three years. The government have seen fit to mess about with my pension age so much, that I am not entirely sure when it is.
