The Retirement Thread

[rb58]

It’s a cracking venue isn’t it. Very atmospheric. We saw Camille O’Sullivan there last week. Great show and perfect for Wilton’s.

We’ve mostly given up on West End venues these days, largely due to cost, but there are so many good Off West End productions it’s hard to fit them all in, even now I’ve retired.

Perfect day here, but there again everyday is. A day out with my best mate today, who also happens to be my wife.

Bright morning. Quiet day planned after 2 surprisingly tiring days in Court. Daughter #3 is dropping off Gaylord so I'll be dog sitting him for the day. Tidy up, run about 0900hrs one the workies and Kidd are out the way, and sjpend the rest of the day chilling.

Two new tyres on the car this morning, then shopping. Spot of lunch, then doggie walking and a short bike ride this afternoon.

Good morning all. Blackburn Rovers are promoted. Very tiring and emotional night.

Not sure what to today as I’m still nackered after last night.

Morning. I guess I should 'join' this thread now I've officially hung up my boots. Dropping Mrs rb58 in at the dental hospital this morning, then visiting another small museum right next door whilst she's having her treatment. Salvation Army Heritage Centre, Denmark Hill.

Good morning, bright and sunny this morning, but it could get damp later. I have sheets on the line but will have to bring them in before we go down the club this afternoon.

I never realised you had retired, you don't look old enough.

It took me many years of practice to be able to fake sincerity as good as that.

Too kind. I stopped working full time at the end of 2016, but got dragged back to do some further work on a part-time basis in 2017. I got increasingly disinterested with it though, so I packed it all in last November. To be honest, my 'big' birthday isn't until later this year, so retirement came a touch early.

Now all I need to do is engineer enough time to ride my bike more, especially as I've lost a 30 mile round trip commute.

Cancelled our ride this afternoon due to high winds. Decided to do a longer doggie walk instead.
Out from Velator along Broadsands to Crow Point, then up to Cod Pits and back along the boardwalk. Very enjoyable. It's nice to have this on your doorstep.

It is so easy to go off some people.
