Swim this morning, sanded down and painted two interior doors, into Lincoln to pick some wood up then back home for lunch. There are a few dents in a Mini sitting up the drive which I am really looking forward to doing as they look a challenge. Then an hour out on the bike followed by a bit more sawdust making this evening, I love full days.

Spare a thought for those who don't make it to retirement in a healthy enough state to enjoy it and for those who have to continue working when they really need to pack it in.
I count myself very fortunate to be in the situation I'm in.
When I look around at the state of some of the youngsters these days, I think that there really is no hope.

Yes, there were a number of people who retired and then passed away inside the first twelve months. I worked at the GEC at stoke and I remember there were two or three who retired during my first few years there and died shortly afterwards.:sad:

Not everybody see's retirement as a thing to look forward too, I know a lot of people who do not want to pack up earning a few quid even though they easily could.

Personally I couldn't wait and went twelve months early

Maybe you did not enjoy that which earned you money as much as some I know.

Work was always a means to earn money, and I never earned a lot, and I never found anything that was enjoyable to do.
