A bit of painting, a quick solo game, aced the Beef and Broccoli for supper, Hornblower: The Duchess and the Devil with my closest canine friends.......that's retirement!

Slowly getting back to 'normal'
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Sounds like a good way to spend a day Ross.
ReplyDeleteNot so bad for a low energy day.
DeleteRetirement sounds good - might try it sometime.
ReplyDeleteIts mostly hype as far as I can see. No idea how I used to fit 1 job in let alone the 2 I did for a decade+
DeleteI thoroughly recommend retirement ! very helpful with the hobby .
ReplyDeleteVery.
DeleteSounds good. I might have to give it a go sometime....
ReplyDeleteThere is a side effect about getting old to watch out for and avoid.
DeleteHi Ross- I've been retired awhile - however if you do not watch it time can still get away on us- have to make the most of each and everyday. I like your Grenadiers as the photo shows...I hope to have British Grenadiers on MARS by the end of the year. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, I prefer it when my time is "well wasted" as "they" say.
DeleteGrenadiers on Mars? That'll be a sight to see!
I'm looking forward to such a version of normal: when it arrives, I think I'll celebrate with beef and broccoli!
ReplyDeleteSomedays, things work.
DeleteMmm!...Toy soldiers... Beef and Broccoli ... and possibly a nice craft beer ...
ReplyDeleteOh!... come to me retirement...;-)
All the best. Aly
I couldn't wait so went to it! Life as a pauper has its drawbacks but......
DeleteThat sounds pretty amazing! By my calculations I'll be able to retire when I'm 107. Looking forward to it!
