I guess many people have spent a lot of time at their kitchen table over the past year or so. Here in the UK we have been advised or compelled to stay at home over the past two years (wow that long) or so. The great unlocking is due soon if out politicians are to be believed. You will each have an opinion as to whether that is a good thing. Personally being an old fart I’m now fully 5G having had my vaccinations (yes, you will have opinions on that as well) so whatever happens the research shows that I’m less likely to get a serious dose of COVID-19.

Contemplating my navel, as I’ve been off work with anxiety and stress for damn near six months, I have come to the realisation that there is more to life than work and as I approach a big birthday I’m seriously thinking about not going back to the nine to five. OK kids this is reality, when you get older things get paid off. I’m in a situation where I have a debt free life style. Oh, I still get to pay for utilities and food etc but I own my place, car etc. and in reality I’m free to come and go as I please. If you want advice on early retirement go look up some of the young gurus and seek their advice. As to me I’ve realised, maybe later than I could have that this is my time. There are various plans afoot over the coming weeks and months and, if you want to join me, feel free. If you are of an age, welcome. Lets put these young ones to shame. My lovely wife will be along for the ride some of the time and not for other bits so If I switch from me to we please forgive me. This is my blog. It has no purpose beyond my amusement. I’m making no promises over regular content and absolutely no excuses over views expressed. This is for fun. Come along for the ride, you may enjoy it…..or don’t.
