So, today, as I spring out of bed and put the kettle on, I use the time it takes to boil to evaluate my life…
Iv just turned 60, I’m now a pensioner and now have no job and therefore need to ask myself…“So, what happens now?”
It would appear that I have an undefined period of time left on the planet so I thought I’d make an early start in being proactive and try using Chat LGBGT for inspiration.
‘Ready to turn your retirement into a thrilling new chapter?’…Yep, Sure am!
‘Discover 25 exciting ideas to keep your days vibrant, engaging, and full of joy’- 10 mins read.
…sounds like just what I need!
Pigeon fancier
Classic car restoration
Golf
Metal detecting
Grow your friendship group
Gently moving….
STOP…That will do, il start with this easy one first and build up to the more technical stuff in time as I have an unknown period of life left before it needs to get complicated.
It’s just ‘nearly’ turned Spring, but rather than contemplating and ranking my favourite top ten shrubs or watching David Dickinsons ‘tantastic’ antique bargains in the sun, I need to get a wriggle on, I have loads of stuff to do and now a bit more time to do it…there is a bit more life in this old blogger yet!
…Today I’m also back on Strava so I can ‘walk the earth’ to reflect, just like Caine in Kung Fu (circa. 1972): Meet people, Get in Adventures.etc.
Over the next few weeks I need to do some prep for a big solo trip which il record and blog about so watch this space, if ur interested, as the planning will start in ‘Ernest’…as it always does!
"It's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years"
Indie band ‘The Godfathers’ start us off with a tune from my indie era of 1985.
And as someone once said “If this song isn’t played at my funeral, I’m not going”…wise words indeed!
