riyadhcrew Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 We just had an earthquake here in Bali. Nothing too big, but a few little tremors and then a window rattling shake. No damage for me and I don't think it was big enough for damage to anyone else. Makes you wonder when a big one might come though??????? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riyadhcrew Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi JM, I basically retired last June and I am bored to tears. Trying to find some work to stop me going crazy. As for the broads - that is a distinct possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to find some work to stop me going crazy. As for the broads - that is a distinct possibility. Try a hobby rather than a job! Granted that I found the first year of retirement something of an adjustment period I can now thoroughly recommend it. I first tried retiring at fifty five but that was way to early, but when I finally made it at sixty seven , well, I'm glad that I did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I have never regretted a single day of my retirement. JM is quite right - be sure to have an engaging hobby before you leave work for the last time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Poppy, Living with 3 women all day - every day is too much. I need something to get me out of here and keep me a little sane. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Three women, only three! On top of that I have sixteen female chickens, four female boats, five female grandchildren, a female prime-minister and a female Queen! Every man should have a shed/bolt hole, a handy local serving Adnams, infinite patience, a tool box, a wooden boat and a fishing rod. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can always find a job to do in doors , they find me. I am never bored. Hubby at this time of year is bored stiff. Cannot get out in the garden which he loves. So yes I think it is a male thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Today's projects: un-rig a bowsprit and strip varnish and then finish varnishing door post into conservatory. I really don't understand where my fellow males find time to be bored? Then my workshop is suddenly even more confused than Grendel's, I really do need to sort that one out! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 On retirement I dumped several sailing clubs and I don't miss them one iota. As for forums, one angling, one Broads, one Drascombe, that's enough for me.. E.Bay, amazing, after forty five years of marriage and having lived in the same house all that time I had accumulated so much junk, junk that was too good to throw out so E.Bay has been a god send although the novelty is now wearing off, Likewise on the jungle/wild garden, only an acre and a couple of hours with ride-on and a strimmer sees to that. I do like model railways, if only I could find the time! We have nearby Bressingham Gardens and the railway museum down there, my youngest grandson is enthralled by our visits there so just maybe I will start to divert time to toy trains. Cars, a necessary evil in life, I really don't see how anyone could make a hobby out of them. Bird watching, now that is proving a joy because both my wife and I can do that together. Whilst I don't like the RSPB we both enjoy our trips to Minsmere despite having hundreds of acres of superb nature reserve within a mile of our home. We all tackle retirement in our own ways. My neighbour opposite has bought a rather tasty BMW motor bike on retirement and he and his Missus do about 12,000 mile every summer touring Europe. Not for me, living besides the Broads then why should I want to do that? We make use of what we have, simples! . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZimbiIV Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 No Eric you don't need a hobby, what you want is the girls to get a hobby (not shopping) that takes them all out of the house leaving you comfortable and peaceful in an easy chair. paul 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQ Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 May I suggest viewing RMWEB if you intend to work on model railways for the grand children. There are many layouts on there, many ideas and many helpful people. You certainly would not be unusual in building a layout for the children / grandchildren. There are some frightenly good modellers on there as well. Examples of the frightenly good layouts http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/28293-manchester-central-clc-gn-warehouses-castlefield-viaducts/ http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/2978-waverley-west-princes-st-gardens-and-haymarket-mpd/ you may want to start with something simpler!! The car, is not a hobby but a necessity , But with the great reduction of income once retired, it will require servicing, so I'll be doing it... The two sailing clubs are required if I want to keep on racing and they have a good social life outside of racing. Since their combined membership fees are about £150 for a family, people don't join those clubs for social climbing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
