The best thing about taking early retirement is that at a drop of the hat you can book cheap air travel. Going to Berlin at the end of the month midweek and same with Budapest end of October. The wife works away all week, staying with her elderly mum who she looks after her, as well. I work as a bank worker in a care home for disabled adults, so work when I want. Oh the luxury. Work for a few weeks, save a few bob then go to places I haven't been before.
Got back on Monday from New York with the wife and kids, went for my 60th., whilst there went to see the Spurs game at Mr Dennehy's, a right Everton pub and highly recommended, after the game went to see New York City get beat by Columbus Crew. There were a lot of young kids with parents and teenagers at the Yankee Stadium to see the game.
The pleasures of retirement, but am glad I still can work particularly when I want. Which is 3.00 pm today until 10.00 pm., 3-10 tomorrow and 8-3 Friday, then on the pop for a good few hours. I feel so so lucky.
