draliman on life

Here is my post for Share Your World, hosted by Di.

When you retire (or when you retired) do you have a picture of a small cottage with a white picket fence outside in a quiet village or something similar?
Yes, but it’ll never happen as that would be too expensive. I have a white garden wall though, and I do live in a quiet village so I’m a decent way there.

What do you associate with school dinners (apart from school of course) ?
The good – chips (that’s “fries” if you’re an American), pasties and the bad – rice pudding, semolina, salads with vast amounts of nuts and sultanas and some sort of cake-related pudding which weighed about 3kg and was completely inedible.

Can you play a musical instrument?
“Play” is going a bit far. I used to “play” the piano/keyboard and had years of lessons as a kid. I have no room for one at the moment but hope to get one once I retire and no longer need my work desk.

I recently took up guitar again, that’s coming along slowly.

What made you smile today?
It’s a bit early in the morning for any smile-related activities to have happened yet.
