Fingers crossed

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!

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 ☀️4 -
