The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Have come back from holiday and spent the week working. Dont know what to spend the money on. Maybe another holiday. Life is good.

You can never have too many holidays. I've got 10 booked so far this year and more to come.

If that is real, why on earth would anyone want to look like that??
I prefer a woman to be cuddly, like @welsh dragon .
Edit
Sorry Welshie, I promised you I wouldnt tell anyone our secret

You are letting everyone know what we know.
We were told to keep it to ourselves

That picture is pretty gross. I think it is photoshopped.

Keep it to yourself

Blimey, I'll be 77 then

I've spent the morning pedalling round Warwickshires country lanes in the sunshine, a bit chilly at first but by the end I was overdressed, we've still got that strong breeze though. A good turn out at the cafe as well, 11 of us. 57 enjoyable miles, I'll have some more of that please, I enjoyed that.

Being a oap is a holiday all year round.

Chilling out. Watched Logan on Sky movies. Was tempted to do a bit of pistol work jn the garden, but decided to be a good boy and rest as ordered.

I love being able to go away at the drop of a hat. We hadn't intended to go away this week; but one look at the weather forecast made the decision for us.

I'll be 67 jn 17 years, and will have enjoyed 20 years of retirement while I was still young enough to actually enjoy it.

Never a truer word.
Myself and many others were happy to work 50 years just to pay for you to retire .
When you think back just one generation, they worked till they were 65 and most didnt live much longer. I count myself very fortunate, as I am sure you do.

My better half has received confirmation that she can take early retirement from the Blue Oval company , so we'll both be free from end of Feb. Not looking good for her colleagues at the moment.

On our side though, we have 3 estate agents coming round to value our Essex home, so we can move back north :-)

Have you booked a night school course to learn how to speak proper English, like, wack.

It was too hot today .
Enjoyed golf but played crap... its a funny old game.
Home now with home made suet crust pies and chips cooking.....and a bottle of plonk to go with it.
