    Isn't it a great feeling?

    That's me every day for the past 20 years. I still regularly get a TH about it.

    Did you ever miss work as you obviously retired at a young age?

    Retired at 54 after over 30 years of the job. After a fortnight I hardly even thought about it other than being so thrilled to be retired. I kept, and keep, busy and keep body and mind active; so don't miss work at all. I never realised how stressed I had been until I stopped work.

    That's a really great situation to be in,the ideal work life balance.I've read some of your posts regarding your work and travels and it sounds fascinating..you'd be an interesting dinner guest without a doubt.

    Wen out to check the seedlings etc. and to my amazement the yellow gladioli have literally shot up an inch and more overnight. Now they are safe from the cats... Very glad-dening..

    Magical.. had a wander into the abandoned back field and it has come alive with wild flowers butterflies and bees, just in the last 2 days.

    Not been anywhere like this for many years and and I am utterly enchanted. Ided cuckoo flowers; so I have cuckoos singing and pretty flowers//

    Last several rentals have been sheep country and they eat all except rushes and docks...

    Wonderful here.
    .
    So odd though. When I lived on a north sea island, I had a space to wander in that was scattered with wildflowers.. and revelled in wandering round in rare sun gazing at the sea. And now I am back doing that and is it so incredibly good. .. longed for this.. alleluia

    Met three French anglers while fishing this morning. Had a very pleasant chat in my poor French and their poor English. They were enjoying the morning and didn't mind the rain. Common delights in the countryside

    I went to the work gym for the first time ever (I've been here since November) at lunchtime and did week 4 of Couch to 5k all the way through with no extra walk-breaks despite not having run since this time last year and now I feel like Wonder Woman :)

    I loved that cartoon.

    Survived the dentist and the hygienist and it only cost me 18e because prsi is covering a bit more this year.
