Flower Friday - Two Years On

I can't quite believe that I retired two years ago today! Not that I've stopped working, of course... But wow! How time races past, and how life has changed in that time. And despite all the pre-retirement panic attacks and general anxiety, we still have a couple of quid left in the bank! 

I so sometimes miss the old job, in small but important ways. The community and camaraderie of my working life, mainly, but perhaps the reasonably good monthly salaries and benefits too, a bit. But you can't buy one extra day on this planet, and that's really been brought home to me over the past two years.

And it's not like I'm idle... I'm still buried in the parish council work, which has grown immensely since I first became a local councillor ten years ago. And although the actual workload is light, I'm still a charity trustee. And now, heh heh, a carer too. She'll love that... 

And if I were ever short of anything to do, there's Blipfoto. Reliably demanding of my attention; with camera, or with keyboard. Happy daze.
