If Christine was not continuing to work it might not have been possible as we are still entirely supporting one son and stepping in to support another when need arises – and it does! The first project was to clear part of the garden to make way for a greenhouse. A rather splendid wooden greenhouse then arrived complete with finials and ironmongery. The next project was clearing and reshaping all the borders – this has taken me most of the year (would have been quicker but for the dreadful summer)T the computer training course (to learn how to use a laptop, which was my retirement present) was not quite so successful – I reduced the average age of the class to about 80 and some of us were a litttle slow on the uptake particularly if we forgot to bring our glasses, hearing aid or put our teeth in. Otherwise I have spent my time playing tennis ( four times a week ), reading and cooking. I have joined the Retired Gentlemans Tennis set – otherwise known as the Grumpy Old Mans club. We play tennis and then sort out the world’s problems over lunch – usually involves bringing back hanging – for traffic wardens and any other form of low life that crops up in the conversation. I then have to struggle home in time to cook dinner for Christine (got to look after the workers). I also have to fit in day trips and lunches with former colleagues. I now understand why all the retired say they are so  busy and couldn’t go back to work. Doing nothing can take a very long time.</div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year away from work.
