Not seamless is it.....

 I suspect it is my inability to have any competence with 
regard to I.T. that means closing my old blog and starting a new one
is ...challenging. How embarrassing is that? Nevertheless I will 
continue. Of late, I remember the days of being at work and being
tired and busy, and wishing that I was retired and had time to 
just...sit....and read...or watch films...and go out and about...see friends....travel....visit exhibitions....galleries.....picnic..... or just 
pootle about doing ....not very much at all.
Those times are here.
Be careful what you wish for.

    I think you are going to need a Followers gadget as some will ask so they can follow. Go to Design, Layout and add the Gadget for Followers. xx

    Greetings from over the Pond. Albeit from someone who does not have a blog, but following over from John's post. Retired a few years ago...happily so. V. long commutes and too much business travel. Helps to be an introvert these days. Not that the US has anything resembling a lockdown like the UK--hence our wicked numbers. I nevertheless stay home but have weekday visits from 6 yr old GS. Helping him with virtual schooling (schools haven't opened here since last March--all online). Guess I retired from one job and now have another. :) Looking forward to your posts.

    Hello Libby,

    Good to see another blogger returning to Blogland.

    We have just had a six year absence....amazing how time flies. And, it is difficult to know why we have returned except that we really missed our blogging chums.

    Perhaps these strange and difficult times call out for more of us to reach out and connect. Travelling the world virtually is joyful.

    Welcome back.

      Welcome both...thank you for visiting. It is true that
      it is difficult to understand why blogging get's under
      your skin. My other blog was a place I loved to 'be' for
      10 years!....and then my circumstances changed and Life
      is now different...strange and difficult times indeed.
      I did enjoy reading your blog....welcome back.

    Hahaha
    I feel you. I can't believe one year ago I wanted to just stay home and chill for a whole day. Now I have to structure my days so carefully I feel my OCD spikes by the minute.
    Good luck with the 'new' blog!!

    XOXO

    p.s. John sent me...

    I'm pleased to find a new blog, via John. Perhaps if the weather improves we will all feel the sun. I love to be outside either looking for spring bulbs coming through, birds chattering or our local heron ( easily mistaken for a teridactyl) flying over.

    Hi, via John's blog.
    I.T. is always challenging! I was computerised by my geek son in 2007...my computer still has an "L"plate on it....
    Welcome back to blogging...the more the merrier 🙂

    I envy you retirees with a pension or savings. I expect to be a bag lady at some point. LOL. Not really. But can't see retirement ever being an option for me; I have to work till I die. Sigh. It is what it is; choices I've made. Worth it. You retirees inspire me anyway and besides, a gal can dream, right?
    I look forward to seeing more from you, Libby. John wouldn't steer his readers wrong. No pressure!! LOL

    Welcome to retired land life is not normal at the moment. When it retired life can be great. Meeting up with friends for coffee or lunch sitting in garden on hot summer days wearing what you want every day not having to dress for work. Spending more time with grandchildren. The list is endless enjoy and make the most of every day.

      Hello My love!..have decided to try and be proactive and positive and had a word with myself and so ...ta-da! I'm giving it another go. We surely could never have believed the last couple of years could we? but as you say (and here I'm crossing my fingers) things can only get better...
      have a great weekend xx
