Retirement activities - let me think.

 Well I gave up 'work' around 10 months ago - bit of a grey area on exact time. 

Felt a bit strage for a while but am now getting to grips with it. Difficulty is not having a routine to follow, so have invented a starter activity for most days - dog walking my son's dog! 

That at leats gets the day unerway. But I'm going to have to find some additonal activities, outside of all the travelling I've done. I do like travelling though. Especially now I have my free bus pass! 

I've been researching retirement books looking for inspiration. I could return to do some software programming of some sort but I can't raise enough energy to start. Probably means I need a change. Books say you have to keep your mind active. Books also say get a hobby. Unfortunately all my hobby ideas ended up sounding like work I'd done in the past, e.g. astronomy, programming and the like. Maybe I just don't have the imagination?

There is one thing worth putting on the list and that is, walking. I do like a good walk but not sure I'd fit into the ramblers association, me being a bit antisocial and all that! 

The activity list has started though, here we go;

1    Walking - lets see how that pans out, outside of dog walking that is.

2    Travelling - well I do like travelling outside of walking!

Will add to list as and when.....think 5 activities feels about right.

To brighten up this post here is a pic from our recent trip to Egypt - Abu Simbel, simply phenomenal.
