What a pleasure to see you & read your caustic wit, it's been too long! Now I must start paying attention again!

That's very nice of you to say. To be honest, I've got some time on my hands since I got to retire at the end of 2016 and due to the political climate, I thought I'd have some wine last night. It was either that or start a heroin habit. Wine seemed cheaper.

Retirement can be something to enjoy but the shock of transition is huge, workers spend decades being told where to be and what to do for most of their waking hours with far too few days off. Had there been a course I'd have taken it instead of making up the rules as I went along, it would have made things a lot clearer.

It's good to see you, Snooze!

tabby, what a great pic. Snooze, heroin prices keep going down, but I would never recommend! Just glad to see you girl.

I'm more interested how your retirement has affected the sleeping pattern of the resident cat and your attention to it.

Welcome back.
