That's all a bit hypothetical.
But, to answer the best I can.
1. The situation is highly unlikely to arise.
2. I don't need the money.
3. I don't want any work related responsibilities, whether I enjoy the job or not.
4. I have completely lost whatever little work ethic I ever had.
So, on balance, I would have to say no.

I would consider it, if I did it would only be for the cash.
I did say really enjoy doing.

I'm enjoying my retirement, the only fly in the ointment is cash, I'm on a state pension, pension credit plus a tiny pension, it don't amount to much and restricts what I can do, going back to work is something I don't want to do, if I did it would only be for the money, if I found myself doing something I enjoy that would just be a bonus.

Nope. I get significantly more than that already for my one day a week
It was aimed at those who have chosen not to work at all rather than like you and me, and I also am the same as you on the latter part, it was just a plucked figure.
And taking holidays on spec, according to the weather forecast.

Yep, deciding what I want to do, and when. When you own your own house - or two of them - and have your own income you answer to no one.
Except the shoulder surgeon. I go when and where he tells me!

That's probably the one thing that took me the longest to adjust to.
After 30 years of working for Her Majesty and treading on eggshells with the general public, it seems odd that I can now tell anyone who riles me to go and do one, if I so wish.
It's positively liberating!

and you'll probably be so chilled out now that you don't ever feel the need :-)
Not nearly as often as I used to, that's for sure.
Swim and gym Friday, great day out with the wife yesterday, breakfast out this morning followed by a ride this afternoon and a couple of hours reading in the garden. Tomorrow is swim a.m. Cycle p.m. the same for the 3 days after that Thursday is away on holiday for I know not how long.
Nearly forgot, hospital appointments on both Wednesday and Thursday
