‘It doesn’t seem such a bad life, being retired,’ said my son glancing through my latest copy of SAGA magazine.
There are lots of benefits: free bus travel, fee swimming sessions, reduced train fares and reduced entrance into museums and shows!
But disadvantages too: as I’m recovering from a sprained ankle and realise I can’t yet get back to doing what I was just less than a week ago – It’s all rather frustrating!
So the mixed pleasures of seeing my grandchildren and then not being able to climb down the rocks to be on the beach with them yesterday. However gratitude that my injury is minor and by this time next week I will throw down my crutch and climb down the clff path with renewed agility.
