Water runs deep

Day 3 of the self imposed retirement and I find myself wondering if the old grey cells can really leave me so quickly? My antics yesterday in my mad clean up (after some very messy plumbers) had me involved in a wellie clad clean up of the garage after I left the garden hose dripping everso slightly overnight.

Result - 1 semi flooded garage, 10 soggy packing boxes still unpacked from move over 3 years ago.

Remedy - expensive trip to Staples for clear plastic storage containers, frantic efforts to dry out precious memories and repackage, trip to tip with rubbish stored for long time.

Lesson learnt - don't leave a dripping tap - water has no consideration for personal possessions and will find the easiest route possible to travel its course.

Idle Hands day 2

This is the second day of my chosen early retirement. I've acted totally out of character and washed, cleaned, vacuumed and filed everything. The only thing I've truly enjoyed doing (apart from shopping) is cooking!

I'm going to try to assess where life should be taking me now. It's difficult - inertia could set in easily. The trick is to keep breathing.
