I wonder how long it will be before your co-workers realize that you've left for good, and aren't just on another vacation...

I'd guess six months, at least... 8-)

I think he means he noticed he was at work. Bit of a shock to the system
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I'll remind you about that should you survive.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Does your impending retirement mean you'll be posting more here?

gawd, I hope not

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Funnily enough...

Mine and Hen's hobbies;
Hill walking with the mutts
Photography (Will be buying a new camera (5DIV) before retiring, and investing in /photoshop*)
Bloody awful music making.
Rock climbing (Just bouldering.)
Paragliding
Cooking / baking*
Gardening
Fishing
Cricket matches
Foraging
Visiting / being visited by friends*
Reading
Writing my bloody awful poetry
Live comedy/music/theatre*
Fine dining.*
Art, mainly mosaics

So out of those, the main money eaters will be the one’s I’ve marked with an asterisk*, though most require petrol outlay. Still, hopefully we’ll fill our time, without breaking the bank

Good to note the improvement to 'bloody awful'. :ok

Congratulations!

If I ever manage to retire, I'm planning a walking tour someplace on the island you're moving back to; I'll take you both out for a pint!
