Well, at the end of August I took early retirement in order to spend time on non-paid hobbies as opposed to a paid hobby called work, having enjoyed every minute of my 37 years in employment.
Duirng the first month of retirement, I have spent time under cars, started clearing the garage and found tools I had forgotten I'd bought. The radio control boats are out and being refurbished, the RC aircraft will follow.
I am beginning to wonder how I ever found time to go to work!
I want to do 2-3 days per week of voluntary charity work - the memsahib already does three days per week - but will start that in the new year once my boats etc. are all ready for the water.
The joys of being a man of leasure - it's really quite tiring but rather enjoyable!
