If you pop on the HMRC website there's a handy tax calculator. Might save hours on the phone.Morning all
Sunny again today
Yay! It's Fish Friday
Will have to get in touch with HMRC today - I reckon I'm paying too much tax on my pension. Blimmin' rob dogs!

Good morning from Lancashire where it is gloriously sunny. I've had a truly awful night's sleep. Not the best preparation for today's activities.
Today is a walking day. We will largely be walking the same route as Tuesday but adding in an extra 2.5 miles to include a very high climb which offers a 360⁰ view across Yorkshire and Lancashire. We're repeating it because this is a beautiful walk our friends will greatly enjoy and the views should be spectacular. Unusually I was sunburned on Wednesday. Factor 50 will be slathered on.
I've done the ironing. Time to prepare a picnic. I will ask Mrs P to drive to the meet point as I may well fall asleep for 40 minutes in the car.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. A bit dull and cool here.
Talking about house prices, there is one village in Wales where only 2 houses are owned and occupied all year round and only 1 of those are Welsh people. Allnthw rest are holiday homes and only have visitors a few times a year. It's so sad to hear that sort of thing.
Stay safe peeps

Thanks for posting Flick . A tremendous cyclist, maybe a little overlooked nowadays.
Mention of the Campsies in the article makes me feel quite nostalgic for holidays cycling in the area , mid 80’ to mid 90’s . Up in the Campsies I felt I was further north in the Highlands . I also remember a great cafe/ tearoom in Drymen , fantastic scones . Oh and the fudge shop in Fintry .

I’d be delighted if she could write an autobiography, perhaps she could title it “In Search of Pippa York”
Good morning fellow retirees,
It's a little cooler here at the moment so I'm going to venture out and see if my legs are feeling co-operative this morning. Thinking about my run on Wednesday which ended up as more of a walk, I think that the sudden switch to warm/humid weather probably played a part. I know that it can take a while for the body to acclimatise. Looking at my watch It is suggesting that I "run for 37 minutes at 7:55 pace", which will " Improve your endurance and build a foundation for harder training" So that's sorted then 😄
Mrs Tenkaykev and I are planning on our first trip to Eight Arch Brewery this evening, our first trip there since before lockdown. Must try to stay upright coming up the hill from the Brewery this time, last time I fell I blamed the potholes, Mrs Tenkaykev blamed that extra pint of Corbel 🤔

Morning all... Found myself a little job to do indoors when the rain comes this morning. While clearing out the garage I found a brand new Grohe mixer tap, so it'll be swapped over with the old one in the shower room hand basin which is dripping. 🚰
@dave r saw this on my FB this morning and thought of you, could save all your transport problems
Have a good day folks!

Thats looks like fun, I like that, but I doubt I could get my good lady to try it.
