[Pete999]

As the title suggests, for those of us who have retired, or cut back on their working practices, taking into account drinking smoking and unrelated activities.
Myself I have become a volunteer for Age UK, although nothing much has come my way just yet, I have also expored the possibility of becoming a, wait for it, don't jump down my throat just yet, an Apprentice Smart Meter dual Service fitter, which I await a reply with anticipation, (as Tel would say Age is just a number) I'll keep you all posted, if you are interested.
It would be nice to know if there are any like minded Codgers out there who would like to share their twilight fantasies, Memories, anecdotes they would like to share, I myself have penned an article about my life as an Electrician, for which I am awaiting advice about publication, so if you oldies have some stories please share them on the Forum.

I have taken up a couple of new hobbies, I usually work for 4 days then take 4 days off, I have my caravan which will get some stick in the spring and summer, and I like air gun target shooting, I am just about to buy a new gun actually as well. I like wildlife and photography as well, plenty to keep my mind active, the internet is slowly going from my life now, a browse 2-3 times a day for 10 mins is usually all I do now, except today that is, spent about an hour on line today.

If you’re like me the Internet is going from your life because as you’re getting old your eyes can’t focus on the small print and you can’t be bothered to find your glasses. Shooting wildlife a long distance is a better option
