Congratulations TBG - and good luck to Sneggy with the op.

I retired at 59 and my very last working day was 31st Dec 2019. That was the exact day that news started emerging of something rather unpleasant developing in China.

The pandemic had a huge impact on my plans (as it did with everyone else of course) and did need some major re-adjustment in attitude and approach to retirement. Big travel plans (including a part time job flying legal docs around Europe) were replaced with growing vegetables and local voluntary work!

Now a year and a half in I do feel the need to re-calibrate as I do find myself lethargic at times. At least now it seems there's the prospect to plan forward a bit more.

One thing's for sure - I don't miss the commuting and the endless corporate bullshit!
