Sitting for hours using Photoshop is no longer a pleasure.
Dammit...I may have to start getting it right in the camera, so I don't need to sit at a computer?

:lol:

Actually that's very true.
I recently gave Dad my old iPad. I put on all his last 10 years of photos. Sitting with him, going through them on Monday, I was struck by how many of his garden shots were out of focus. But Dad, bless him was saying 'look at that lovely rose...isn't that beautiful....'.

"Yes Dad"

hi gang ,just popped in for a view ,eric you can't beat retirement and doing your own thing whatever that may be ,i presume you can survive without the full income so just get out there and do your own thing .
i find most of my time these days is spent either taking pics ,or taxi-ing the kids and grandkids etc around any other spare time is dedicated to spreading as much chaos as possible on this inter-fishing-net thing .
after your crash you should realise that lifes to short to spend your time making money ,just enjoy what you have left .

Having been retired since 2007 I can say I can thoroughly recommend not working. I can somewhat understand why there is a Benefits Culture in UK. If someone will pay you to not work then why not (dignity and sense of accomplishment, spring to mind!), but unfortunately I had to work hatd for 30 years to make enough money to afford to retire.

Eric, the main thing is that you and Jan have enough good health and money to have those relaxing holidays and home projects to fill your time.

Don't mention home projects....having spent 3 days hedge trimming and pruning...I have got tennis elbow.

sorry not to respond but the news was bad and depressing..............I am now making progress.  Needed more surgery but some how the whole affair affected my legs also.
Worsened an already bad condition. I will need more surgeries on my legs.

So I just consider myself starting over and building a brand new me. (ok I will not be brand new since I am using mostly the old parts)

But none the less,  I love you all and wish you a very merry exmas.

Eric, I am happy for you to retire but please don't drift away from us. You are one of the main branches on our tree and us twigs would be lost without you.:merrychristmas:

ps (Robert still has growing children so he is forced into staying young and virile) :applause:
