Yes, I have heard that too, and it will be much harder in a few days, when he does not need to go to work everyday anymore.
Then he will have 24 hours a day to post and comment ... but I have the hope, that he will find a new home near his grandkids soon, and that they will need him so often and so much to play, or for a walk or whatever, that we other Engagers have a tiny little chance to beat him :))) lol

I do not get that much of these comments either, but when I reply the same way they comment, I get sometimes nicer comments on my next posts :)

Rumour has it's a few months and not days, but also then he won't be spending so much time commuting on a train which is when he is most active weekend are his quieter days and in a few months it will be one long weekend :)

Days or months, who cares? I have years :((

You have no idea how stressful it is in the pension. Our pensioners never have time for anything. If you want to invite a pensioner to a party or a meal, then you have to do that long before, because the pensioner has a tight schedule. At least that's the case with our pensioners.

But forget the above - I also think of the pension as a very long weekend, and I do not mean to put any stress on it ๐Ÿ˜Š

No stress at all and yes the pension in many countries does make things very tight fir people luckily with my having been with this company for coming up on 30 years I will get an ok pension and should be fine

Good morning and have a great day

Good morning JJ,

I meant it that way, that they have so much to do: doctors appointments, short trips here and there, shopping, and I don't know, what else they have got to do. Most of the pensioners I know, are always busy. They cannot sit down and enjoy their free life.

I wish you a great day too. The sun is shining here, and for the next days the weather forecast has predicted a heatwave up to 35 degrees C.

WOW what a contrast with now a heatwave, itโ€™s nice here today but then rain coming for the next few days so I will enjoy today
I think its important when retired to keep oneself busy or I know I would go stir crazy

Yes, one day is cold any rainy, and the next day is hot - that's strange, but it is as it is :)
Right, being busy, doing things you like to do, keeps your brain working :)
