so....I ate too much yesterday and am up in the middle of the night with an upset stomach So, I turned on my laptop and here I am.
Here is a question that's been rolling around in my head the last couple of months. since I want to be as prepared as possible for when we retire to Spain (still at least 10 years off) the thought of "what will I/we do with our time?" is on my mind at present. Hubby and I both work at home and, weather allowing, we take a brief walk around our pond at lunch time. and I asked him this question last week so that he begins to think about it too. I don't have any lists in my head of things I plan to do when I retire but maybe I should start forming some. I don't know. So, I thought I'd ask the question here and see what you all have to say.
We both love music and are musicians of sorts. Him more so than me. so, one of his answers was "I'm going to find a band to play in." and I could find a group to sing in I suppose. I'd love to do some volunteering too. Years ago I volunteered at our humane society, walking dogs mostly. I could do something like that too. Mostly I see myself doing more reading maybe create a blog. I've had that idea in my head for a while but haven't any time for that right now. But I sure got inspired whilst perusing Alcaina's blog. She's done a great job and if you haven't checked it out, do so. Lots of great information. I of course was drawn immediately to the "thinking of retiring to Spain?" entry and have bookmarked it for future reference. We also plan to travel a bit around Spain, funds allowing.
oh anyway, I guess I'll stop here as I think I've written enough on this for now. I'd love to hear how all you retirees spend your time. I'm all ears :wave:
