Hi everyone, I’m semi-retired from engineering and still very fond of my road trips and little adventures. I can’t be on the road all the time though, and I’m realising that the “ordinary” days at home are just as important.
For those of you who are retired or semi-retired, what do you enjoy these days for a bit of fun? Any hobbies, routines, groups or small things that really brighten your week when you’re not away?
Do you lean more towards quiet pleasures at home, or do you like getting out and about locally – walks, coffee, games, volunteering, that sort of thing?
I’d love to pinch a few ideas from people who’ve found a good balance between putting their feet up and still having things to look forward to.
Going to concerts, when the second half starts and we can stand up and dance ,and. sing along Im back in my teenage years.
At the end of the night I feel revitalise
When not attending to the needs of the house, I do a lot of photography either wildlife, models/fashion or doing paid events. But that tends to be seasonal for some reason and when I can fit it in with other things. When I’m not doing that, I guess I spend a lot of the time writing or generally messing around on my PC. I always looking around for other interests, but options around where I live tend to be limited.
