I am currently "between jobs" as they put it. Getting on a little I was undergoing training as a volunteer minibus driver and one young fellow asked if I was retired. My reply was that I wasn't but I was kinda trying it on for size. It made me realise that what I am doing now, prior to retiring, will probably be what I am doing after retiring.
It made me wonder about other folks attitude to retirement which is pretty much a twentieth century, first world dilemma.
Anyway, I said to my wife that I was looking for my fishing tackle and her reply rocked me back on my heels. "You are not going fishing while I am working" She works weekdays as a childminder from home. What she forgets is that I will retire a few years before her and fishing will be part of the curriculum.
Anyway, as time passes I am adjusting to being time rich and cash poor. What are the activities others anticipate doing or have started doing?
