"Final" countdown to "REAL RETIREMENT"

[MajorBloodnok]

Hello,

"final" countdown to REAL RETIREMENT by Christmas or New Year's Eve
when I shall finally have unpacked the last of 375 card boxes and hung
up the last picture and wall plaque!

Warm regards,

MB

Congratulations!

I'm a few years off that myself, tell me, how does it feel?

Hello JJB,

correction first: CARDBOARD boxes.

Feels great, of course. Especially, when I wake up to the sun shining brightly almost every day, and the warmth permeating every fibre of my body.

Have a nice weekend wherever you may be.

Happy to be able to spend my retirement in Thailand & Hua Hin!

Warm regards,

MB

Many thanks, MB, it sounds ideal and I look forward to it one day. For now though, it's still a distant dream I get to sample every now and then.

Presently I'm getting ready to leave a snowy, cold Milan (around -2 at the moment) and board my plane to BKK, arriving in HH tomorrow morning! I'll try not to think about my return flight in early January...

All the best to you and I hope it's everything you dreamed it would be.
