Well the week is over,
What a week it has been!
A long drive back from our break,
Our break into relaxation by the sea
Where all was done for us
In a place I give my highest accolade,
We will be back!
The following day another drive
To be with my daughter,
As she was honoured,
Honoured with her Masters Degree
For which she worked hard,
And thoroughly deserved.
This long day took it out of me,
Still recovering from the travel of the day before,
I am not used to it,
After all I am retired and should be relaxing.
But no, then came another day,
Another long drive to play croquet,
A tournament where I played six matches
And won three of them,
But I was still so worn out.
And then came yesterday
Where I did nothing,
Nothing but rest,
Preparing for today
For another croquet match.
Playing for my team
Hoping to win once again.
Throughout all these times though
She has been with me,
The love of my life has been there,
Our love growing stronger each moment,
Even in those times when I was shattered,
She was there,
As she always will be,
And as I will be,
For her.

Now you're retired, you wonder how you have much free time, with so much to do! lol.
So true Orchi
it helps to get away for a while doesn't it Andy ............................... Neville
It certainly does Neville, we had a wonderful time down on the Isle of Wight.

You're obviously enjoying yourself.
Good to hear.

Oh and now I need to listen to that album later. It's been ages since I put it on.
I certainly am, after being retired for ten years this last week seems to have been the busiest.
Pink Floyd are a great group, I often listen to their albums.
Andy
I can really relate to this poem my friend. The good thing is that the tiredness now comes from the things you want to do, not have to. Hope you are enjoying retirement to the fullest with the love of your life, tired or not it is the very best!
So very true Bella, thank you.
Andy
What a great poem, vacations seem to take more out of you then regular life. Enjoy your retirement.
Thank you Raven, I have been retired for ten years now and this seems to have been the busiest week for a very long time. Time to relax again now.
Andy
Yes Sir, enjoy your relaxation my friend
