Well I must say, this retirement thing is working out splendidly! I'm just starting to get a feel for it. A fortnight ago I was still waking from dreams of work, and angry dreams, and getting up too early. The past few days have felt much less hurried and much more relaxed. I'm picking away at the house painting just a few hours here and there with no sense of rush at all, like I would have approached it a year ago. We have also decided that we'll buy that camper van next spring instead of in the fall. That gives us a summer to do some shakedown trips before heading to BC in September, likely with a loop through the US on the way home.
Last Saturday my jug band played the LaHave Folk Festival but it was so very cold, and the rain started just after our third song, so it was a bit of a disappointment, even though we shared the stage with the like of Tom Chapin (Harry Chapin's brother).
The samba band is back in full swing again for a new season with a gig in Chester this coming weekend.
Meanwhile my mornings are a relaxed period of coffee and web stuff, dog walking and thinking about the day ahead.
LIFE IS GOOD
Cheers,
John
