Well, retirement then...

 First Tuesday of my retirement.

Well...

It's a strange new reality.

I suppose it really started on my last day. It was quite overwhelming, what with all the handshakes, best wishes and gifts and cake, not to mention the 'Don't be a stranger' stuff.

What I need, apparently, is a routine...

I cycled to work every day, that kept me fit, I'll have to continue something similar, to stop turning into a couch potato.

I'll also need to ramp up the hobbies & projects I'd previously had no time for, one of which is to repair an oscilloscope.

I also realise I have no weekday/weekend!

Which is why I've started writing this again. I can appreciate the days will blur, but I hope this blog will keep me mindful of time.

The first Sunday consisted of a secreting 24 years of accumulated personal gear around my small house. It looks even smaller now.

The first Monday I was busy looking after a sick relative.

Now, the first Wednesday, I'm running errands and going for a nice 4 mile walk.
