My retirement papers have just arrived. I'm officially a retiree now!

Granted, I still have to run my circles with the German Rentenversicherung, but I only worked in Germany for 2 years, so the difference will be minimal.

Goodness, I am so relieved I could cry!

I've started the process in 2016 - and it still isn't entirely finished yet. But the German part of it is almost insignificant.

Good grief. I hope my attempts next year aren't as difficult.

Yes! Open up a bottle of the bubbly stuff - or tokaji (or even bubbly tokaji.)

I don't know if there is such a thing as a bubbly Tokaji - we don't drink much and practically no wine. But we finished what was on the bottom of a small bottle of black currant favoured vodka as a proper celebration.

Apparently there is, I have about 8 bottles of it in London. It appears in Aldi and Lidl at Xmas, but maybe it's a gimmick for foreigners. It's good though!

Really? I never heard about it. But again, I don't really drink wine.

Well, I won't break open any champagne bottles until I actually start getting the money - it's a month overdue! But that is bureaucracy for you. *sigh*
