It seems a bit soon to be throwing away all vestiges of his previous life and he may decide to wear one occasionally. <br /><br />I like to see a man in a suit and tie. My husband is still working, but the office dress code is 'business casual' which is open neck shirt and casual trousers. I hanker after the days when he wore a suit and tie. He looked so much smarter.cheshire wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944869219641386387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-8023584438663750562011-07-16T14:11:15.804+01:002011-07-16T14:11:15.804+01:00Fortunately Malcolm bought a laptop when he retir...Fortunately Malcolm bought a laptop when he retired, saving us from severe marital disharmony!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-1137845673834040402011-07-16T09:49:53.818+01:002011-07-16T09:49:53.818+01:00There was a big clearout of ties and suits here a ...There was a big clearout of ties and suits here a little while after the mister left work.

A sort of keepsake and memory box of his working life.<br /><br />I read somewhere it can take around 3-6 months for a new retiree to settle and get over the whole I-can-surf the-net-all-day novelty.
