I've made too much mash potatoes.

Anyone want any?

Hongkers beginning to quieten down now as CNY, year of the Dragon, starts tomorrow.

Do you have any cats? Cats will scoff mashed tatty like it's going out of fashion.

Oh, and happy new year!

Are you feeling a lot better? I've had you on charge as you were a bit low and now you are 100%. I must say that you are looking a lot brighter now!

Second cuppa went down well with a slice of toast and red jam.
I think the rain has stopped

Cats are not my favourite.

Dogs however are awesome.

My wife was looking at the so called amount that a pensioner needs to live on . Are they basing the figures on how much it would cost to put up Henry VIII and his entourage if they were to stay for the weekends?

Good morning from a grey and overcast Sheffield. I can't tell if it's raining or not, but as this is Yorkshire it's safe to assume it is.

A cooked breakfast, two coffees and two glasses of orange juice have just been consumed so I'm going to have a 10 minute sit down to let everything settle before heading off to the rail station. The good news is that it's downhill from the hotel.

Look at who came up the figure that tells you all you need to know.

I had a look yesterday, did some checks and thought "ah, well".

Today's trip is to Grantham as I have to present myself to a pernickety building society who has very few branches and a silly low probate threshold. Just so they can confirm the solicitor-signed paperwork sent is me.

As much as I like building societies and am a member of a few. Many even big ones you do feel like you've gone back in time from the moment you walk in the door.

I wondered about those figures too.

Thought it was just me.

Think it is just scaremongering by the pension sellers.

Cats aren't always mine either, and we've got several .

You're forgetting though that the figures won't assume by retirement a lot of people don't have any debts, house & cars (and bikes) paid for, less spending in general etc. The figures are meant to be for the 'perfect consumer', who still spends ££££'s every month on stuff they probably don't need to keep the modern capitalist gravy train a 'Rollin. Or maybe I'm just too cynical.

Today's 73 plate truck has 77,652 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me, so far, to Swan Valley (Hamtun) to Rugby, back to Swan Valley and then to Banbury & Edgbaston (where I now sit) , then soon to Leamington Spa.
I can head home after that!

Thaw (flooding) seems to have started and just ventured outside to the recycling wheelie bin twice.
