discussion That's it, I am done!

[Guest]

As of 13:00 today I am officially On leave until 31/05/2016 upon which I become unemployed until early June when I retire. Happy days although I will miss cycling to work and back in the cold and wet while avoiding school run cars, NOT!  :/  


I will, of course, miss some of my now ex colleagues without whom work would have been even more tedious...... :|


Stage three of of my life begins now and, for me, it will be the most exciting and creative. Bring it on

Congratulations Graham.


without wishing my life away I can't wait until I'm retired

Congratulations!


I retired in 2011 and had a vision of backpacking trips and model aeroplanes stretching out in front of me; but anyone who's retired will tell you that it doesn't seem to work like that


Do you know how many models I've made in that time? - three!


Mainly because since retiring I've discovered another hobby - knifemaking. Well it's two really as I'm also doing leatherwork to make the sheaths


If you're interested, have a look at these websites & forums

You are far too generous John lol  xD


Had the bus pass for a while now but you cannot use it until 09:30  . However, there is a bus that runs from Peterborough right through to Great Yarmouth via Norwich which I can get on for free 9_9 .  It's a four hour journey each way but I could go to GY for a bag of chips and be back home for 7:00, just

Thanks for the best wishes guys.  It will open up the modelling more for me and I am looking at insulating and fitting out the shed to create a proper modelling space.  It will not be huge but it will be better than the temporary space I am in and, to be honest, I don't want a huge space or I would just fill it with more rubbish.  My better half is on page 107 of the 'things to do list' whith which I have no problem as it will be for both of us. Not sure how many will get done though.


lots to do, and lots of standing around with a cup of tea wondering how I am going to do them.  Sometimes I wished I still smoked as I used to love a cigar while standing with a cup of tea wondering how I was going to do something  9_9

The first thing I thought when I saw the title was..oh no Graham is leaving the forum.


But alas..no


Have a real happy retirement Graham and good luck for the future

And no doubt Graham, that if that day ever does turn up you will need a letter signed from both your parents to prove your age
