All ye oul wans and oul fellas out there! Wakey wakey, rise and shine!

morning fellow coffin dodgers

Last day of a bloody hard week at work. But despite everything I am actually (ashamed to admit it) scared to death of retirement. Yeah the free time sounds wonderful, the lack of pressure too. But I am scared witless by the change in lifestyle.

Just thought I would share that with you.... maybe get some of OldGoat's sympathetic gin passed my way.

Ps. I am not retiring this week LOL Just a hard week made me think about it a bit more.

+1 on everything BBDBB just said.
Keeping busy is the key to making your retirement enjoyable. This is the opportunity to start loads of new projects. Don't just start one new thing, start loads. Get a camera, start dancing classes, learn a language, build a barbque pit, paint your nails different colours everyday, learn an instrument, 'Rescue' plant cuttings from other peoples gardens and grow them on, take Indian cookery lessons, get a bicycle and use it, invite the neighbours who you don't yet know over for coffee.
Learn to make the Perfect martini.

aw Rubecula you have plenty years in you yet... (bats eyelashes furiously)
and sure if you get bored in retirement i'll bring you bat watching

Bats are much maligned i'll have you know, they are fasinating creatures. There is one in my mum's garden and i call him the Count Von Batula

oooh i will have to lend you my bat detector so you can see what breed of bat 'Batty' is

(as you can see i am a bit bat obsessed)

they love midgies alright...
right this ramette is off to bed, she is a tired leg of mutton this evening
Nite all
Guess we better leave the latch off, i have a feeling Old Goat is on a bender :rolleyes:

Lordy Rub you are a gamey one
Am up bright and early, i'll try to be as quiet as a i can so i dont wake all you auld wans!

Would love to do that sometime. Facinating little creatures that I know too little about. I see them every now and then and instantly point to them knowledgably saying "Look, a Pipistrelle." as it's about the only bat name I know*.
Was in the North Australia and each evening the fruit bats would take wing and fly up over the Darwin. Fantastic sight.

*Even when I'm on my own.

Ooh can I come Getz? I fancy a bop around - there is a disco isn't there?

Hm, bats don't really do it for me....

i guess no one was up chucken!

damp day, just went for a walk and had to change all my clothes when i got home :eek: definitely not good weather for bats

four days to the weekend... yahoo! (am wishing my life away to retirement)

cicero still waiting for the photos of your fishing trip :rolleyes:

You were spared bbdbb

Well then we better make sure we make the most of today, who knows it could be our last )

How about champagne, chocolate kimberelys and the west wing box set
