Retirement

[DracoM]

Keep exercising!!

[teamsaint]

My retirement day is here at last! I'm finishing tomorrow afternoon and will hopefully now be able to spend more time with my CDs and a mountain of books! Well, that's the theory anyway.

Congratulations Pet.



( Hopefully you'll have the bookies on the run with more time on your hands).

Good for you Pet.
Keep active,doctor’s orders in my case to keep the under par ticker ticking (you can still listen to music while out walking).
I definitely don’t have as much time to myself as I thought I would though.
I’ve got a bit of a project going on whereby I’m trying to listen to every recording I own once before returning to any of them.Averaging 3 cds per day should take about 6 years

I am effing jealous. 4 years for me unless they show me the door

[Petrushka]

Thanks all. I'll try keeping as active as possible though might be a bit of an effort in the endless rain we are getting here. No dogs, though. I'm immovable on that one!

Richardfinegold, that's the worst when you desperately want to leave (and you always know when you are ready) but I felt that way for much longer and four years will go much quicker than you think.

[Rjw]

I recommend swimming and yoga. They have certainly done me good. You never really want to do them but when you get home you feel so much better.

... congratulations, Petrushka!

I've been retired for ages, and love it.

I've never felt the need for any exercise, apart from (non-strenuous) walking.

Congratulations Pet! Now we can see what you’ll be playing more often!

I'm very happy to confirm the efficacy of this strategy.

Congrats Petrushka. I thought the same when I retired 17 years ago. It hasn’t happened!

I wanted to go early, but things didn't work out like that. In the end I actually stayed on for several months after I "should" have gone as I was asked to do some extra work, and it made some sort of sense to finish it - and have the extra money.

Some people I know seem to take on extra voluntary work, and that can be as demanding and tiring as "real" work. It can be rewarding, and may bring some of the social benefits of work, but don't do it if you won't like it, or are not motivated by the "cause" - whatever that is.

There are some good things about being retired, and some not so good. Enjoy the good things.
