Retirement

"Work gives you structure and routine: it provides degrees of mental and physical activity.

In retirement you must create that for yourself, identify what’s important and fulfilling, take a risk and try something new but above all make every day count." 

So although I might not be overly impressed with late night telephone calls about a light out etc it is gratifying to know you are still useful and needed for your skills.

One of the things that age and experience brings is perspective so that while one outside light of five not working may seem vitally important to the bar with sunset at eight-thirty it’s not that big a deal.

Still fixed it this morning though!
