    actually I think that one of the best things about retirement I like is having an afternoon nap, or perhaps more the ability to have one if you feel like it.

    If it has not been said. Make sure you know what you will do on wet, cold and windy days. Daytime tele is ok for about 10 minutes.

    And  Bluemalaga  makes  a  valid  point  wink.  I  was  fortunate  in  that,  when  I  took  'Early  Retirement'  at  54  I  had  varied  interests  as  well  as  an  elderly  father  to  look  after.  All  good  things  to  avoid  sitting  in  a  corner  on  Bluem's  cold  wet  windy  day  and  fretting  or,  even  worse,  getting  Depressed  as  some  folk  do.  So  far  I've  only  managed  to  last  22 years  on  a  very  comfortable  &  warm  scrap  heap  cool  -- hope  you  more  than  match  me.

    I took early retirement at 50, although I did part-time work thereafter right up to just past 65. It just gave me a bit more spare time. Since being fully retired other stuff can impinge on the apparent "footloose and fancy free" but you do at least have the option of saying no. None of us know what it around the corner so carpe diem.

    I know retired folk who seem to have every minute of every day planned.  That’s not my way we are more ad hoc must not forget the frequent breaks.  Variety is the spice of life🤡
