Some Adjustments

Since returning from Africa, there has been a period of adjustment post retirement. I settled into a pile of admin (carte de residence, taxes, inheritance) and other financial matters.

But true to form, I started travelling pretty quickly. First to Braga, Portgual for an electronic music and digital arts festival that my son “Nexcyia” was performing at :)

Then a series of short trips to London, Edinburgh and Dinard to visit family but also take care of Chezvous-Cheznous business. There is always something to be done!

Our faithful and much loved Polish sheepdog Fenix passed not long before Christmas and Luna, a cocker/bichon frisé mix puppy arrived. A very different animal, not least because it’s a girl not a guy!

Christmas came and went fairly quietly for us and I fought off the January blues by starting to work on this website amongst other things. One of those other things was to embark on “Dry January” and radically change my eating habits and exercise regime. I have stuck with the lifestyle changes into February, lost a bunch of weight and started training for a 5k+ run.

Hey retirement and 2024 are suddenly looking quite good! Hope my Doctor thinks the same :)
