Retired!

[Sarahafloat]

I have fully retired... scraping, sanding, painting, painting and painting, oh and getting the hydraulic drive fixed and the mysterious bubbles from underneath... joy. I cant wait to get stuck in.

That doesn't sound like retirement to me.

Hi

The mysterious bubbles, if they are coming up from under a steel narrowboat, are just gas from weed on the base plate, or even fresh water mussels thereon. They are weird at first, but you get used to them. And relax....

It does to me!

Does retirement qualify you for the History and Heritage section?   

[Sarahafloat]

Not on its own but my boat gets me there! I’m just a good vintage, not quite historic x

Nah. If you have retired to a boat you have just changed one type of work for another, albeit though in much nicer surroundings, but probably  without the temperature controlled environment.

Enjoy.

As in, wondering how on earth you found the time to go to work five days a week?

I still do some part-time work and sometimes I really struggle to fit it in.

Retirement - the time you start working harder than you have ever done before, but can stop at any time! (And re-start when you like).

I have a t-shirt that says:

 

I don't have to!

 

I don't want to!

 

You can't make me!

 

I'm  retired!

When I retired I was advised to start off gently and then slow down !!!!!!
