Oof, yes. Not losing any mental sharpness yet I see, Humph.

BTW, just realised that I only have to make 4 more months' NI contributions to hit the 35 full years and qualify for the maximum state insult pension. When I get to 67...

I like to iPlay House of Games for a tea break on WAH days — which is most of them. Can’t be doing with Pointless, though; it’s just so slo-o-o-ow.
Presumably the retired have to balance their flexible todays with the awareness of the decreasing number of tomorrows. Perhaps we could lure Sven or T&E back as consultants.

Sorry Al, I had to go out on errands AFTER work. I'm not quite at the stage of doing as I please just yet, well the car got a run through the car wash late this morning didn't want to really take the Michael.
Owl, Wednesday haha yes, I got it.
Humph will be vaping before you know it, driving around in his own fog machine.
Round here the pensioners like to go out for a 35mph cruise late afternoon, around 4-6pm, to cause havoc with the rush hour traffic.

I was at university of six years so I didn't quite get the full 35 years NI contribution for a full state pension. Of course I can top up. I did pay a bit of NI on my bonus last year so waiting to see how much to top that up. I might be 4 or 5 years short of the full 35. And 67 is a long way off!
Humph is about to get much fitter I think with more cycling and swimming.

I’d quite like to replace your “much” with an “even” if you’d don’t mind… 😉

I give you six months and you'll be semi-retired doing consultancy picking and choosing...

Congratulations Humph!
If it were me I would be researching flights to sunnier climes for Jan/Feb! A proper holiday! Also a complete change of scene for a few weeks whilst you make the adjustment to your new life and weigh up all the options and opportunities.
