New paintings and regular art updates.
What is your career plan?
Playing mahjong
I’ve worked long and hard
Given work some welly
Retirement would be fine
I mean resting and learning
New things.
I’m semi retired now
But I’m below retirement age
Which keeps moving on
I would have retired four years ago
Except they changed the rules…
Ah well at least I can.
I don’t remember taking this photo. I think it might be from a free photo library. It’s in my media files. Anyway I just want to start planting up my pots with lovely flowers like this. Ideally I’d like a friend to be here to keep an eye on me and perhaps help with heavier pots. I love creating a colourful garden in the yard for the summer. Fingers crossed I can still do it.
How do you want to retire?
I need a crystal ball.
To see into my future
Life could be fun
Or a daily grind
Who can tell?
Will I get a pension?
Will I have enough?
Will the planet be OK?
What will happen to the environment?
Lots of questions.
I would like to keep as fit as I can.
I hope to feel enthusiastic again,
Maybe get involved in the community.
Semi retirement is OK
But I do feel a little lost
I do try and do things
When I’m feeling OK.
That’s the main thought
A wish to be OK
To keep going.
Not to lose my way.
That I had created a wonderful painting. I’d entered it for a competition and got it in. The dream continued as I walked around a massive gallery, in and out of many rooms. I could not find the painting anywhere. Then I walked u some steps and round a panelled wall. It was there! It said ‘awarded master of art’ next to it. I remember being elated and shocked at the same time. Someone had recognised me as an actual artist! I was standing back, looking at it, wondering how I’d managed to create such complexity and colours. I don’t remember waking up but I’m glad I remembered the dream. It’s odd how things get in your brain, what you want isn’t always what you get, but it’s good to dream!
