Time has flown by since my last post and it is another beautiful sunny day.
I have been slowly winding down at work, getting files together ready for the hand over on my final day. It is sad really and I am feeling a bit low as I am preparing to leave friends I have made over the years, Little G, Biddy Baxter, Little Gs on line girl friend and others who have cheered me up when I am feeling low or miffed about certain others that I know I will not miss. If I ever hear someone singing " Summer Time " I think I just may shed a few tears, or light up a cig in solute to the memory. Smokers bridge, the laughs, the singing, comrades together not a care in the world that is what I will miss.
My big day of retirement is getting near and on Thursday 30 April 2009 will be my last day in employment. Hopefully the friends I have made will keep in touch with me and I know I want to keep in touch with them. This is not goodbye because I hope to have a few more posts on here before I leave, hopefully I will get some followers for my future posts.

On my door step
Did you ever think about the area around you, did you ever notice what beauty we have been walking past. We are all in such a hurry to get somewhere, traveling away from home when you manage to get some free time.
This morning I woke up to the sound of the birds twittering away, I looked out of the window and the sun was shining and my garden looked lovely. I smiled and gave a deep sigh; this is what I was looking forward to. Sunny days with not a care in the world, I got kind of dreamy and decided that today I would have a stroll in the local park with my Husband. The gardens in the park are beautiful I never realised how lovely it was, I passed it every day on my way to and from work and never even thought of going inside. We found a tea room and sat on the terrace having tea and toast and watching the world go by. We chatted away and laughed at anything and everything it was really good and then we strolled around the park taking in the scenery, now that is what I call a really good day.
It's our wedding anniversary tomorrow we have been married 41 years and we still laugh at each others jokes, well we do see the funny side of a lot of things and enjoy each others company. We will be off on our travels again tomorrow and then on Tuesday it is back to work for me. Two more weeks and four days to go before retirement and then no need to set my alarm clock or wait to go where ever we want to.

60 something
It is amazing how you turn 60 without realising it you never notice the years passing. In my head I am in my twenties it’s just that my body is in it’s 60’s. Why is it that you only ever notice your age when someone kindly reminds you. I have my bus pass now, I remember the first time I used it. I didn’t really want anyone I knew see me with it, I got on the bus couldn’t see anyone I knew then “shock, horror” I recognised the bus driver he was my Son’s friend. Well my vanity went out the window after that and I haven’t bothered about it since, funny thing vanity, it takes over you in certain ways and makes you untrue to yourself.
I am retiring soon and it has taken me a long time to decide when, but now I know I am ready. I think I will enjoy it now that I have got things out of my system in my working life, I think I managed to achieve what I wanted to. I am going to enjoy every day to the full, it will be strange at first and I know I may be climbing the walls after a couple of months because I have always been in employment. I will just have to get used to each day and see where it takes me. I do have some hobbies on the go but never had enough time or the energy to do them, now I have no excuses. Hopefully my blog will get very interesting as time goes on, I like spur of the moment things and people who make me laugh, so let me see what mischief I can get up to ( watch this space )
