Retirees what is your typical day

At 64
I may be in line for redundancy (or maybe not)...
Fingers crossed
Now that would be great timing....

So far I've held off from quoting Blur's Parklife lyrics in this thread, but it's oh so tempting ...

Well the dustmen actually DO come round on a Wednesday at our place; but I'm usually rudely awakened by my missus getting up for work! 

Maybe this is
the reality of retirement

I don't have a typical day, which to me is the beauty of retirement. I like to aim for a list of three things to be done (this doesn't include the normal stuff like housework, grocery shopping etc)
Today's list is
1 - Morning aquatherapy class at local leisure centre
2 - Faff around with spreadsheets and make sure all funds are where they need to be for the next week or so
3 - Pack for short break in Tenerife, booked on a whim a couple of weeks ago and heading off tomorrow ☀️

I couldn't do a short break to Tenerife. I'd need at least 10 days as it takes so long to get there.

Three things? Retirement sounds intense!!

(as in three things sounds a lot). I aim for one thing on my days off 😊

At least when you are retired you have plenty of time to plan ahead for bin day, and not miss it

It's completely flexible. No things can also be an option, although it doesn't happen often. I like having a list and things to tick off. All three are ticked today, so even though not much effort was involved it still feels like I've achieved something 😂
