Bloody hell I expected some milling puns but not this many
Their just put trying to get a rise out of you.
Congratulations, I’m looking forward to reading about your future exploits!

Were you expecting flours instead?
And congratulations. Bastard 😀
Congrats @MrOvershoot hope the retirement is as fulfilling as can be.
If you get too bored there's 3 kids here that will keep you company..........
Hearty congrats!
No more flogging your arse off, just to earn a crust.
Congratulations. Glad to hear you got the dough to retire. Spend it wisely with no half baked ideas.
Congratulations! Join the club!
Best day's work you'll ever do.
Keep plenty of hobbies or you'll go stale.
There's a grain of truth in that ^^^^^
Well so far day 1 has been fine, even have a bike ready for an evening ride and felt no pangs of guilt at not going to work.
There is little chance of me being bored as I realise how much I've let things slip and want to attend to.
The best thing was I sat out in the garden with a coffee and just watched the birds going about their day, I felt so relaxed that I actually burst out laughing 🙂
I think I need to follow my sisters example of yoga and meditation (she is a member on here on a walking trip to Harris at the moment)
Belated congratulations! Hey, now you'll have to read all the forum comments, so it doesn't matter that I'm late.
Ride your bike, visit friends, be the annoying and cheerful one... That should keep you busy for a while. And pop in if you're ever down my part of the world. 🙂
Well IIRC you are in the Pyrenees? So apart from Swiss, Dutch & Norwegian members of the family the area you live holds many happy memories of helping my father geological mapping in the area, plus we have another member in the area that needs a visit
Congrats N!, I had that lumpy cheque but after a year off, I jumped back in the job market, chose a firm that's fun to work.
Waves at you in the garden from the other bank of the river.
To keep the grey matter working I've started on a MSc, oh and slowly building up a bike packing setup once my legs are back working properly again.
Congratulations Mr O thought the mill was looking quiet over past couple of weeks driving past. Enjoy the next phase of adventure on our lovely planet.
Enjoy…
Oddly I got the letter a few days ago asking me that my pension would be starting, I remember the day laughing with the pension advisor when I signed the original paperwork.
I er won’t be taking retirement quite yet 🙂 ,as I only ran it for a few years before moving onto company ones,it’s a shock thou seeing it in black and white.
Lovely mind set.
Sad news on your wife.
Have fun writing down all the things you wanted to do but never got around to. Even if you don't complete all the things on the list it'll be cathartic to get it all out.
Good luck, and I hope you share some of your adventures on here.
Buggery bollox I typed a whole load of stuff on here and Its gone 🙁
First ride I had a wardrobe malfunction and had to stay seated!
Thanks to those that know me for sensible words, thanks to that don't know me for silly words 🙂
Going through all sorts of emotions trying to make a house we lived in for 26 years a little less cluttered, the pictures are the hardest.
Carolyn on a bike!
And Us when we were young
Lovely photos MrOvershoot. Congratulations on your retirement – mixed emotions for you, I'm sure. Hope you can make the best of it.
