Custard tarts and a tax-free pension?


Peachy Portugal!

I think the starting reference is 'Pretty Woman' - do you see yourself more as Richard Gere or Julia Roberts?



You clearly haven't read that under the Portuguese tax system you can draw your pension tax free.....

I went as far as typing that I wanted Richard Gere and Julia Roberts at the opera but changed my mind. Didn't think people would understand.

And yes, no, I haven't done much reading on Portuguese pension planning! Where did you learn that?

Presumably, that is why the Duchy holds some of the money back in case a legitimate claimant does come forward.

But nobody can see if there's a legitimate claimant as there's no published list. So no Heir Hunters can hunt if they don't know who they're hunting for.

Can't finish catching up as it's Crem tomorrow morning far too early for me. Not sure if I'll make it or not, but still hope to. Will see how I feel at early hour...

Nearest Crem is closed for modernisation, so having to go to one further away. At least an hour's drive to somewhere we don't know we're going to (other than maps).


Wake separate occasion, at better time of day for me.

Always choose the option that'll upset the most people that make these calls .... gives you something to take away from it. A bit of "up yours" never hurts.

I spent my life never having tasted Nutella (still haven't actually) ... and, for some bizarre and random reason, I decided to buy a jar of faux nutella from Lidl many moons ago .... I had a bit of it once and didn't really "get it" ... and it's languished in the cupboard ever since.

I've no idea why, but I decided to shove some on some toast the other day - and now seem to be ploughing through the whole jar at the rate of 3 slices of toast's-worth per day. It's not too bad if you put it on hot toast so it goes all soft and melty!

High calorie though. A serving's 20g and is 111 calories... I've weighed my servings and I'm definitely closer to 25-28 grams each time ... so I won't be rushing to replace this jar when it's finished.

Wandering around the Internet, randomly, as you do ... just discovered a protest heading for London ... that I had no idea was going on.

Date will be the 15th but they're on their way .... loads of fishing boats from around the country heading up the Thames under the hashtags

Yes, the ones in co-op are really good as well!

Pasteis de Nata. I had them for breakfast every day last week Beautiful. I have a love of all custardy, burnt sugar puddings.

Don't they call them Pasteis de Belem in Portugal? Or is that something else?

Every store is different .... and maybe those people live next door to a store that does have a lot of reductions and they've honed their skills to the minute for when the food's being reduced.

Sainsbury's Walton-on-Thames, Saturday evening around 7 is a good time for yellow stickers.
