What have you been working on?

We are blessed to live in an older, renovated house or that it’s not quite squarely on an 800 m² block of land.

We’ve done quite a lot of renovations to the house and indeed to our yard, having moved into this place 36 years ago in 1987.

I have gone through the eons of professional employment as an educator and hopefully get a contributor within this domain.

These days I am a very, very old man. I am retired from full-time work and have been for 12 years. I would have liked to have carried on a little longer as the school principal but you have to know when the time is right and that needs to be while you’re on top. Self-realisation about capability is important and coming to 66 years of age factor caused me to realise that physical capacity for work was about to hit the downturn.

Now over a decade into retirement, I sometimes wonder how it was I had time to work and to fit it in with the life that is now mine. I have not vegetated north in a corner doing nothing at all.

“Working“ in retirement has and does involve me in mental, physical, Passive, and active activity. Yes, I do work more slowly and take rest when I need.

BUT!

“Work” and Henry GRAY have certainly not parted company.

The focus has changed but not the work ethic or focus.
