Sunday is a day to recover and recharge your batteries and Monday is hectic for those in employment ... So retirees should get some rest? Not in this household!
We are up early, no lay in , up with the lark, and looking after 2 of our gang. Daisy is with us all day and Heath comes just after 12,for lunch and joins his sister in some lunch, games and.... Sweeties with the grandparents!
Today, we had a visit from a friend and work colleague, Jane.
She arrived laden with sweets, flowers and a big hug for us all.
We hadn't seen each other since February last year so there was a lot of catching up to do.
Julie and I enjoyed the visit, it was great to have a couple of hours of socialising, catching up with gossip, laughing and showing off the grandkids, with plenty of tea and coffee flowing.
Jane had to go and collect her daughters and as they live in a neighbouring town, left early enough to avoid the traffic.
The summary of this is that although I have retired, I keep in touch with all my friends. Its an aspect of work I miss but I enjoy catching up with colleagues whilst still carrying out grandparents duties.
Life balance?
By 7pm... We are asleep on the sofa, energy zapped out by our little munchkins
