Retirement takes away more than a salary, and the thing most people miss first is the daily company of colleagues they may not even have liked. Steve makes that point across two posts about boredom once work stops, and it is the most honest writing in the collection.
Running gets most of his attention. Whether racing flats are worth it, how to choose shoes without wrecking your feet, scheduling training so it survives an ordinary week, and running in rain instead of waiting for it to stop.
Merino wool gets two posts of its own, which tells you he cycles as well and holds firm views about what he wears doing it.
There are house rules for hosting homestay students, a beach resort reviewed properly rather than promoted, and a whiskey marinade written out with quantities.
Twenty posts from somebody with time on his hands and very specific interests. Read the retirement boredom pair, then whichever of the sports posts applies to you.
