I know that feeling Caff  The first time I retired I was happy that the stress and pressure I was under was ending but had a sense of loss knowing that I would loose that close working relationship with my colleagues several of whom I had come to feel were friends.
 That retirement didn't last 6 months but now, several years down the line, I have decided to try to work harder at being retired. Although the money is very welcome I found that I was begrudging the time I had to spend to earn it. I thought I would never want to retire but I have changed my mind, the sense of freedom I felt when I handed over this last set of canvases on Monday was fantastic. 
So enjoy your retirement you have earned it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Thanks All.
I loved that job for decades but it got to be more than I could handle  .
I get to hand in my pass card, make a donation to the PTA and drive off into the sunset on a pretty neat bike with a pretty neat biker. I'll try my best not to throw a fork.
Oh and I have to pay £326 for a laptop that went missing from my room.
I'll forget the fork and just ride away
