All over now

Well retirement has finally come around. It is the 31st March today and I finished on the 29th. That was quite a day saying goodbye to a lot of people that I have worked well with in years.

I have arranged a drink at our club on the 2nd April and quite a few will be coming along I have been told. It will be quite a night because that will be the last time I will see many of them. I will go and say hello ocassionally of course but I have got along with many of them over the years.

So far retirement has consisted of house cleaning! I have left a lot of things 'until I retire' but now I have to get on with it. I want to get it sorted out over the next couple of weeks and there will be a lot of stuff to take to the tip for recycling.

We have arranged a holiday in Holland for week in April to go and see the flower gardens. That will be a nice change and we are both looking forward to it.

Hopefully I can update this blog on a more regular basis now I have the time.
