I stepped off the treadmill 13 years ago. Since then I’ve done very little with my life apart from enjoy it. I like where I live and travel mainly to accompany Madame and Junior. I don’t feel the need to tick the biggest hole in the earth’s crust, ride such and such a trail or whatever.
I watch probably too much news and documentary stuff on TV in various languages, waste time on here, DIY (I could pay someone to do it but enjoy working with my head and hands), read, swim, mtb, walk long distances/jog, clean (I don’t want a cleaner in the house), play guitar, ski, rock and roll dance.
In short I haven’t changed much, work was replaced with things I already enjoyed rather than anything life changing. Today I’m helping my son set up a gig he’s playing tonight, I’ll no doubt go and watch. While they are rehearsing I’ll noodle on a guitar and clean.
