A letter today informed me
that due to my advancing years I was eligible for a winter fuel payment from
the government the next time that season comes around, provided I was not
illegally in the country, hospitalised, in prison or in care; none of these
currently apply so provided I keep my nose clean and remain fit for the
qualifying week in September, I will get the cash to spend on keeping warm, and
while it will not buy much heating oil or electricity, it should be enough for
a thick jumper, extra socks and a bottle of whisky.
