Well, either give up and sit in front of daytime TV every day (relaly really really not a recommended option!) 
or use the time to take up new hobbies? Go join the local library and read all those books you've necer got round to read but always ment to 'when I have enough time' 
travel? of course a lot of what you can and can't do will depend somewhat on how much income you have in retirement

Hi Majorcalderman.
How are you?
I'm new here,and I'm retired for ten years.The first time I was taken aback a few but now I do many things that make me happy.I'm travelling a lot for the beaches close my city, I enjoy to dance then I have an instructor.He teach me salsa,forró and zouk.I'm reading a lot about philosophy and others subject that i like.I do work out and run on the beach.I guess we need to think about what can do pleasure for us and do it.
Best regards.
Pleasure to meet you.

Depending how brave you are, you could come & visit me in the South of France. Bring extra heart tablets if needed. If you arrive during 24 to 28 Jan, there will be up to 10 frozen comix artists in my attic, so one more won't make much difference.
Once you get stuck into hootoo, life takes on new meaning; you tend to abandon "real life" in order to go & talk about it on here. Fret not. Beware of folk like Lil & me good self, who will guide you along the ACE path of nonconformity.
Welcome to your new life!

Fiend dear, fiend.
Too late i am on the road to corruption. Would you like a chock ice? I have bumper box filling up my fridge & 8 am seems like a good time to start munching away.

that was the intention but it's cauliflower cheese or chocices really.
My freezer is small but perfectly formed.
