His last day was 30 June, Friday was his first day out of work and today he embarks on his first full week of freedom. As you can see he seems to be keeping himself occupied, I think he was sleeping with the cushion over his head to keep the sun off his face, there again maybe he was a spy. So far with the tennis finals, the start of the Tour de France and the onset of some really hot weather he has been struggling with the life/life balance. There is talk of a lengthy trip to Italy, we are off down to Yorkshire this week to spend time with family and there are plenty of things on my list of jobs an out of work engineer can do around the home.

No longer required
Something quite major has been in the air of a week or so and I can now reveal that Mr FF has officially finished work. That's about all I can reveal, there has been so much negotiation and secrecy around this event, all contained in an 8 page legal agreement, that I began to wonder if he didn't work undercover for M15 rather than a small construction business. His last day was 30 June, Friday was his first day out of work and today he embarks on his first full week of freedom.

I like your way of thinking and hope he's not under your feet for too long ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am sure you can find him plenty to do! I know my hubby's favourite occupation is cream teas rather than painting, it plays devil with your diet. Have fun, its nice to have them at home.
ReplyDeleteWell, he's certainly picked some good weather for his first few days of retirement!
ReplyDeleteHope Mr FF enjoys his retirement... and that that lengthy time in Italy will happen for you. ;o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteI hope you both have a blast! You'll soon wonder how on earth he managed to fit work in!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is THE LUCKY BUGGER!!!!!! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteOh congratulations .... someone's made it!!!! time to really enjoy life now!

Well done Mr Flip Flops. You've made it! Enjoy! I can't wait :-) Ros
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Mr FF I hope you will be able to spend longer periods of time in Italy now.
ReplyDeleteI was just about to say is Mr FF a spy??
ReplyDeletemy brother, 52 ish has just left the Royal Navy...but found a job straight away - finished RN on the Friday, new job Monday so my sister in law won't have to do anything nasty with her knitting needles!
Good luck

I think he was a spy!!!!

He looks very relaxed - perhaps the cushion is because he's not used to sunshine in Scotland??
ReplyDeleteHappy retirement, Mr FF. I'm 4 weeks behind you!
ReplyDeleteNothing quite like retirement. I thoroughly recommend it!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost 6 years since Malcolm 'retired' (he's not yet 60, never mind 65!) and now he doesn't know how he had time to work .... going out for lunch, going out for coffee, going on holiday, going away for the weekend - no wonder I don't get as much sewing and knitting done as I did when he worked!!
ReplyDeleteHappy retirement to Mr FF. I do hope him being at home isn't going to cramp your style!!! On the plus side, you can get him to do all those jobs he hasn't had time for 'til now, and you can jet off to Italy at the drop of a hat! Happy days!
ReplyDeleteGood news if that is what you both want. When he has done your list of jobs could I borrow him please?
ReplyDeleteI predict that he won't like being in that position for very long, better get that list of jobs sorted. Sounds bliss going off to Italy but we both know that means more time for Italian construction and less time for Italian ice cream!
