What construction I do get done seems to start after everyone else has wandered off to bed, and at least after 11pm. The advantage of having retired this year is obvious. If I was still working, I'd be sacked out by that time as well.
The problem is that I have to keep things quiet, and I generally would prefer to have something loud and obnoxious on the CD/BRD while I am modelling.
Thus, I have arranged for a new set of Sony headphones so that I can continue to abuse my hearing ability even while everyone else in the house is asleep. Part of the Christmas deal which also includes some books and even a kit or two.
So, as hope springs eternal, I can hopefully get some work done and restore my missing modelling mojo.
..no apologies necessary! Toying with the idea of reducing my hours/retiring myself - so I can make a concerted attack on the stash- although as I'm 'only' 56, people are looking at me and going "you what?" when I mention it..curently listening to the new Dirkschneider -Back to the Roots CD (U.D.O never sounded better!)
ReplyDeleteActually I only officially retired at 59, though I was not working fulltime for a couple of years before that. It is really a life changer. Basically solved my hypertension problem once I quit! Unfortunately some other health disorders came rushing in to fill the gap :(
ReplyDeleteI am familiar with Udo from his earlier gigs. Might have to give some of the new stuff a try.
