I’m presently spending much of my time doing DIY around the house. Just fitted a towel radiator to replace a standard one and a new extractor fan in the bathroom.
My main hobby though, seems to be restoring old cars and motorcycles. I have to, as an OAP I can’t afford to buy new ones….
It’s much more fun anyway
. I’m in the process of making a replacement chassis crossmember, cutting and welding kit out tomorrow if the weather is ok.
The other thing I’ve taken to is bread making. Very simple to do it, very satisfying and we’ve not bought any for some weeks, only flour and yeast. Tomorrow’s loaf has just come out of the oven - it smells delicious!
Oh yes, also fixed up and regulated two old clocks for my wife’s elderly mother today. Polished up a lovely little brass French carriage clock which was given to
her father on his 21st birthday in 1917 and to her on her 21st in 1947. It will be inherited by my daughter in due course (although it’s now a few years after her 21st).
Soon be time to get some gardening done, too…..
Its true that you never get a day off once you retire.
