The best thing about being retired is...

[PK99]

...waking up naturally each day.

No pressure to be up.
No alarm to jolt into wakefulness

Just a gentle, relaxed drift into a new day.

Bliss!

You can go off people you know.

I plan my commute around the weather forecast

I'm semi retired in the sense that I only work six months of the year.

Had it not been for a slipped disc, I'd have been woken by the sound of the Arabian Sea every morning. That or one of many packs of dogs who fiercely defend their bit of beach.

But I'll soon be there for 10 weeks.

I've told Mrs marshmella i'm throw ing the alarm clock away when i retire, but it'll probably be shot anyway in 15 years time

Congratulations, how long have you been retired?

Crowing to those who remain wage slaves?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

We know where you live, be round at 5:30am tomorrow for wakey up time you lazy bas.

Picking your day for a bike ride, having time for family and friends, having time to do the odd jobs that need doing, not having to have an early night because you have work in the morning, not having to do the weekly shop at the weekends.

You speak for yourself!

I am semi retired, work 5 months of the year and have 7 months off, it's great.

Being able to sit in shopping centres all day so you don't have to put the central heating on?
