Congrats on your retirement, having retired 14 months ago I can tell you it takes a little getting used to, about 4 or 5 weeks because it doesn't feel like a holiday anymore. Some days you'll think how the hell did I find time to go to work.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.  :cheers:

I've recently retired as well.  Days seem to fill themselves up with no apparent effort, particularly if you are travelling for months each year.  I have decided that I have spent my last winter in Melbourne for the foreseeable future  ;D

I also have joined the local Men's shed where I am learning some practical skills that are new to me.  Doing something that was not part of your work life can be a lot of fun  :cup:

It's grand waking up each morning and doing whatever your body will let you do each day. 

Well done

Congrats.....I look forward to learning from you, how to do it properly....

A couple of ideas...
1. You've got 11 months to start working in next Nagambie NOW festival
2. You could spend the next 4 months, working your way up and down the coast each month, coming up to mow my lawn while I'm away...


There a couple if ideas to start with...

Hi,
    Welcome to the best side of the hill. I think I've had more fun and learning since retiring 8 years ago, so enjoy it.
