Well since I got that letter yesterday saying I had to take my remaining 32 days holiday before the end of July - 14 working days away - I decided that all those things I wanted to tidy up can be done by somebody else.
So I cleared my desk today and left. It's all piled up in the garage and up here in my office. I'll sort it sometime.
Of course I will be going back for 2 days a week in September, but that will not seem like working because I will not be engaged in it 7 days a week.
After all these years working it seems funny to think of not having an employer to drive me, to have achievements in my job, deadlines to meet, a feeling of satisfaction at the end of a days grind. I have always said that I want to learn something new every day. Do I still? ( Damn Right I do!)
It all depends on whether Retirement is preparation for the grave, or a new exciting phase of trying to get the best of a wearing-out body.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Monday brought - a visit to Homebase to look at wallpaper.
Tuesday - a local shop to look at wallpaper.
Wednesday brought - buying wallpaper.
And emptying wardrobe of clothes and washing and painting the inside of the wardrobe.
And I'm still in my first week!
