Congrats to you both! Retirement does, indeed, ‘rock’. You have to plan it though. I have a cupboard full of projects from jigsaws to model plane and car kits…I bought them just in case. Very glad I did.
This last year since I fully retired I have done nothing…seriously just vegged out playing computer games, gardening, re-organising my man cave and…counting the awards from my final project. Cannot believe that a tiny project on I worked on as a favor for a friend has so far won 5 'best comedy" awards and is still on the award circuit. Plus been asked to do a Q and A on my final professional audio book voice project later this fall. 71 years of pissing about, starving and struggling with kids and now I can enjoy!
Grandkids come back to Aus this year soo it will be grand to meet our grand daughter for the first time!
Anyhoo, plan your retirement and make sure you have a thousand fall back activities or you end up like those sad bastards always at a loose end and moaning about the millenials and the ‘woke’ generation.
We don’t want to be like that now, do we!
