Friday!

[TWR]

Here again, do you find the week comes around very quickly when you have retired?

[ummmm]

It came round really quickly for me and I'm not retired!!

[ummmm]

Actually that's probably as I have loads to do this weekend.

[Baldric]

I packed it in 2 years ago just before my 63rd, find days just kind of run into one another, the W/end doesn't seem to be special anymore, not a problem, just saying.

[TWR]

Northampton used to be my 2nd home on a Frid Ummmm, I was on the way home after been away all week, lamplighters ( As you know) a few others then end up in the Working men's club just nr the Mounts, good old days.

[ummmm]

Lamplighter is thriving now. They do excellent food.

[jno]

like Baldric, I never even notice the days any more. Unless you have regular appointments like church on Sunday or konga on Wednesday, they're all much the same.

[ummmm]

jno...mine is all about Saturday Kitchen/Sunday Brunch :-)

[jno]

ummmm, I once went to hospital after fainting; they wanted to check if I'd had a stroke, so every couple of hours they'd ask me "What day of the week is it?" And I had no idea, which wasn't much help.

[-SharonA-]

I am retired and the days blend into one another. Some days I wake up and wonder what day is this!!!!
Despite being retired, there is still lots to do and I still don't have enough time!!

[ummmm]

Lol, jno, my uncle was rushed into hospital once. They thought he was confused as when they asked him who was our queen was he kept answering "we don't have a queen"

After about 3 times asking, and me translating, I had to remind them he was Irish :-)

I retired when I was 40. I am now 53. The civil service paid me to leave.

Fridays no longer have the same happy feeling and trying to work out sell by/eat by dates in Tesco are difficult when you have no idea what day today is.

[-SharonA-]

^^^^Yeah Wolfe I have that problem too. Dates are meaningless these days.

Often seen in other threads, our friend 237sj, who is a flight attendant, will attest to the phenomena experienced by nearly all we flight crews; that being, waking up in the morning in the middle of a three or four day duty period and trying to remember where the heck I am.

I've often looked around the motel/hotel room trying to get a clue from the décor, but finally looking at the logo/address on the hotel furnished note pad on the night stand for the correct information. Sometimes it's quite disconcerting...

[wolf63]

Clanad, and you expect people to fly on a plane flown by a pilot who had no idea what country he/she wakes up in?

:-)

[Clanad]

Breakfast clears all that up, wolf...

[Tilly2]

I like Friday. It's the only day of the week when I don't have to go somewhere or do something pre-planned. My week is very full. Friday is my free day.

In the end, its not the years in your life that count.
Its the life in your years.

[Tilly2]

Very true, Chip. :-)

I've not retired and I find its Monday that comes around really quickly.Or more specifically my most hated time of the week 10pm on a Sunday night.
