Martin Weller reflects on how his retirement is going (well, from the sound of it) so I may as well reflect for a moment on mine. I've settled into a bit of a routine - wake up when I want (yay!), spend time reading and writing posts, work on my CList application, and get out for bike rides. I worry most about money (because I'm a pensioner now) and am paying more attention to my health (which typically took a back seat when I had a day job). I have a 'consultancy business' with no current clients, but I can't bring myself to do the LinkedIn song and dance it would take to make that work. But that's OK. I still feel deeply engaged in my work, which always was, for me, my hobby.
