Morning All
Another scorcher!
It is great weather, but not possible to do any decent work in this heat.
So, I shall have a tidy-up of my workshop in fits & starts and between cold drinks.
Have a lovely day everyone

Just achieved about 1 3/4 hrs punching my weedwhacker/ mulcher around.
Under the trees where it is hilly, tight, low branches catch me head and it's humid, due to being mostly in the shade.
So nice when I finally ran out of petrol!
so inside where Wifey is up and back to her normal self, complaining I put a pair of gloves "on the wood" as they were "damp".
Hmm, dint even know they were damp.
so she hid them, in the airing cupboard. Yessdi. And didn't say anything.
Despite wearing gloves, (I had to hunt around for another pair,) my palms are starting to form blisters so I think I'll find a different thing to do.
Choice between strimming or getting under the Disco.
We'll see!

Foolishly I accepted a 4 year contract where I have to work about 130 days a year at my choice, so semi retired if you will. In hindsight I could’ve just called it a day but folk in my position have just keeled without a purpose.

Yes indeed, but the "purpose" could be to live & long & happy "rest of life" doing things that you really enjoy instead of working for the man.
My Brother-in-Law (Martin) refuses to retire for the same reasons as you, but like you he has cut his hours to 3 days a week.
He will be 75 this year and he shows no signs of keeling over.
