The beginning of week three of my retirement, and the sky shows no signs (yet) of falling in. I've still not launched fully in to the big list of retirement activities, as we are shortly disappearing off to China for three weeks to visit our daughter who works in Suzhou and I didn't want to start anything that would then need to go on hold.
However, I can add the following to the list of "things I've noticed" that I put in my last blog. When I was at work, my day was governed in half hours - half hour for a conference call, half hour for a meeting, half hour to prepare for a presentation etc. Each day was a patchwork of 30 minute blocks of time. Now - boy, is it different! I'm measuring time in days ("I need/want to get this or that done today" rather than "I need/want to get this or that done in the next 30 minutes"). The sense of freedom is quite liberating (and a bit scary), but it feels, with each passing day, that this is how life should be rather than the harum-scarum existence I had previously been used to.
See you in three weeks when we return from foreign climes.....
