I never realised how busy retirement was. All those chores I had put off before I retired-All the things I wanted to do once I retired and the list my wife comes up with as jobs I haven't done yet. Then the neighbours and family wanting me to do things as I have time on my hands. Finally the Campervan that is requiring "Renovation".
And those early mornings are still there 18 months after I stopped work. Have too much to do so have to get up early so I can finish some of them. If I knew how busy retirement was going to be--I would have found something else to do
