Well, that’s it. I’ve officially retired. No more commutes, meetings, reviews, emails…well maybe emails.

I’m writing this from a coffee shop, Happy Bones on a Tuesday afternoon in London. I’m killing time before heading to a talk on “How AI can (maybe) fix the government”. Just for interest and education, no immediate purpose but maybe a chance to form a connection to something in the future. Who knows?

While here in London I did have a cheeky look at an Omnium Cargo - what a lovely bike. I’m seriously considering selling my Tern GSD and buying one of these, they’re so much fun to ride. I tried the Cargo and the Mini-Max and prefered the Cargo for it’s livlier feel, though that might have been because of the different tyres on the two bikes I rode.

What’s next? A few weeks of settling into new routines. Building more time for fitness, sorting out the houses, traveling to the IoW and going sailing. Then we’ve got a sailing vacation in Mexico at the end of March which will give me some more time to think. For now though, no concrete plans and I’m liking that as we come into the Spring with its lighter mornings and evenings. It feels like change, the good kind.
