Good to hear from you Odies and I am sorry to hear that you had issues with people on the forum having a go at your comments and hopefully they are the ones who have now left us! But it is good that you have made friends with people from the forum. I agree in part to your comment about retirement not being all it is cracked up to be, as I found it quite difficult at the beginning after working in a high stress career, to actually slow down. I was the first in my friend group to retire, but they are all catching up now and all are saying how hard the first year is to adjust to retirement, so I think it is something that we all have to go through. After all it is a massive adjustment and one of the biggest events in our lives, as emigrating is, and you have done both at the same time! Hats off to you Odies! There are lots of clubs etc for retired people here, and I have tried a few, but I find that it is just not me. I might fit demographically, but mentally I don't as I have never been into social or sport clubs and have just done my own thing, so I totally get where you are coming from. Hope to see you on the forum a bit more Odies!!! Rossy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
