Retirement
Yesterday I woke up, put on my bath robe, and walked down stairs to make my first coffee of the day. While waiting for the kettle to boil I thought "wonder if it is Monday or Tuesday today". Carrying my coffee I went into the room where my desktop computer is and switched it on as usual. I then discovered it was actually Thursday.
Isn't retirement fantastic? Time and days are no longer important, being your own boss and self unemployed.

Re: Retirement
Down stairs, have not done that in over 40 years.
But yes today is Saturday, Chinese restaurant tonight.
But being amongst the great unwashed has it's perks, you can stay in bed until 0700 hours, then the shore bosun says, you not getting up today.
Be buggered tomorrow, clocks go back tonight.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
