Good Morning. It's brightening up quite nicely, no breeze and 8⁰. I woke at 3.30 and couldn't get back to sleep again, unusual recently, so got up and did some chores.
It's #2SP today so I've been to Manchester to collect her. Got home in desperate need of a snooze, very fortunately she fell asleep in the car and I got her in without waking. I've just had 30 minutes kip on the sofa and now have coffee. Feeling much brighter.
I'm going to quietly do more chores after coffee. At some point Mrs P, who is still asleep, will need to takeover. My bike badly needs a quick wash and a proper lube. This isn't an excuse, it really does need doing before Wednesday.
Interesting thing about people retiring. I have a good friend, 60, who wants to retire. Single all her life and has managed her finances well. For two years she's been asking my opinion. I keep telling her two things; yes, a) you have more than enough and b) see a financial planner. We met for coffee yesterday, she showed me the full financial plan, she was at last convinced and is handing in her resignation this week. I did the same nine years ago, it's very valuable that people get given this confidence with some proper financial advice.
