 A common thread in any discussion with fellow retirees is that life is somehow busier than ever before when one no longer "goes to work". Sure, the pace is a little slower, but the days pass quickly and the diary is almost always packed with things to do. Relishing retirement and savouring summer holidays is currently at the top of my agenda, so please excuse me for not journalling regularly here on the blog. Happy new year 2018. Over and out for now.

Happy New Year! You're right about retirement being a busy time (but in a good way!). Blogging is fun, but it shouldn't get in the way of real life. Glad you have a good one to enjoy. :-)

I went to the funeral of a friend recently Lizzie. Life's way to short to spend time doing things that take us away from the real stuff. Enjoy.

Hi Bob, I was at the same funeral farewelling the same dear colleague and friend. It all happened so quickly and the cancer took him way too soon. It does make one stop and consider.

Hi Lizzie. Yup, agree with Bob. Life is too short. I'll look you up on Instragram. I'm a new user to Instragram and i have already come to love the quick and simple snippets with accompanying shots. Jenni (PS> Happy New Year to you both!)

God bless you and a very happy and healthy New Year! Am laughing: am way older than you but do ill-paid work 70-hours a week ++++ and having melted at 46C yesterday with no AC . . . and but little better today and tomorrow . . . life is not all THAT enjoyable at the moment. Typical female: bought a state-if-the-art fan on NY sales to make matters a little more bearable . . . . do you think I can click it together and no professional in sight till next week . . . oh, Liz: I AM so happy things are comfortable for you . . .

*just a laugh* Three 'clever', big and burly guys have tried so far this morning and have fewer clues than I ! And here it feels as if a herd of elephants is sitting atop us . . . . hot, hot, hot . . .

Greetings, Ron and Gott nytt år to you also x 9/1/2018 02:36:22 am
I smiled reading your words today, since Bear expresses the same sentiment regularly. He wonders how on earth he got anything done before retiring. :-) 11/1/2018 07:57:49 pm
happy new year liz to you and yours! yes retirement keeps us off the streets doesn't it? always something to do.... 14/1/2018 03:43:21 pm
I have to agree with you completely. My husband and I have never been as busy since he retired. It sounds like we are both busy but happy.

Happy 2018 Liz and Peter! Wishing you the most fabulous retirement and I am so happy that I have met you! The highlight was your book launch! Will pop over to Instagram to say hi, and hope I can catch up sometime in Canberra! Huge hugs xx 14/4/2018 05:38:41 pm
I've heard it said that as soon as you stop doing something you fill it up with something else. I do like the look of that label on the wine! Beautiful image of the beach xx 3/5/2018 11:06:50 am
You're right, you should take your time to enjoy life and do things you love! 21/5/2018 03:18:56 pm
Just wanted to say "hello". Hope all is well and that you are both happy and healthy.
