August 12th


Gerald and Teresa left on Sunday and Judy arrived Monday. We spend some quality time together talking of old cycle tours and the fun times we had . We take the bikes into Ryde and are lucky enough to miss the worst of the rain that was forecast though the chilly winds make it difficult to believe it is mid-August. Perhaps I am ever the eternal optimist. Judy has bought me some oil pastels and a pad as a gift. I look forward to trying them out.

Today I receive my first instalment of pension, but have still heard nothing from the Additional Voluntary Contributions. I telephone the pensions dept. to find out when they informed Prudential I was on a pension. I am annoyed to discover they still haven’t done it, despite telling me weeks ago that they had 20 days in which to do so. The lady I speak to assures me she will do it as soon as possible and I should hear from them within the next three to four weeks. If I had done my job as badly as some of these folk do theirs, I would deserve the sack! I don’t know how anyone too ill to follow these matters through would cope. It seems I have had to chase up everything to do with the pension from the outset.
