The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Cold and frosty. Got the house to myself again today. Once everyone's gone out I'll continue work on the rifle rest I'm building.

 

[PaulSB]

Have you got the right year , or , your birthday is only 6 months away.

Whoops! Thank you Paulus.

Born 1954 means
I'm 65 this July.

Morning all.
Bit nippy last night - but nice and snug in the van.
Wending our way back up the Cornish coast around 11am. Cruise control will be set at 37mph to cause maximum workie frustration......

Only 2 more days of being in my Forties.

Morning all, a bright start to the day here. looking forward to another shorts day as the temperature rises unseasonally . I will be out with the dog shortly and then out on the bike.
With the warmer weather my knee feels better now and not so painful. Maybe I need to live somewhere warmer in winter.

Somewhere warmer in winter and back here for the summer.
That would be ideal

Pretty new here so I can join this thread.
Voluntary retirement at 50 from British Gas, 72 now so plenty of practice at this retirement game.
Did at few part-time jobs off and on for 10 years then solely devoted myself to
Sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Lol.
My wife retired from her part-time work a few years after me and we sold up in Leicestershire (I was 63) and moved to ‘God’s country’ yep ! (Near Richmond, North Yorkshire).
Never regretted it for a day. .
Always had a bike but bought my 1st proper roadbike bike at 65 ( Cannondale
Synapse) Great cycling around here, fantastic scenery, not a lot of traffic, cycling nivarna. Other main hobby is photography. Save the money I have spent on photography kit to all things cycling related and I could probably be living in a castle ? Dogs, we have always had dogs, currently a rescued beagle who keeps us on our toes. We do loads of walking, always with our beagle. We are both fit & healthy (touch wood) and life is very good.
Retirement, I heartily recommend it.

Anyroad, cool but sunny here this morning and so still I could hear all the poor sods commuting to w*rk on the A1 when I walked the mutt up on Waldridge Fell.

Boiler repairs and cooker repairs today so will take it in turns with Mrs jg waiting for the man. In beween times I'm hoping to get out on the bike.
