Welcome, welcome, welcoooome! @Angelina0506, @sylviapack62, and @CatrionaLyle! What a pleasure to have you all here :) Thanks for dropping by to say hello. Please feel free to tell us more about yourselves. We love getting to know more about the members! ❤️
Thank you for the warm welcome Sethia. I don’t have anything exciting to tell about myself. I’m recently retired and getting adjusted to the retired life. Not being able to travel overseas as planned (firstly because of COVID and now the threat of nuclear war) has been a bit of a downer, but regardless, I’ve been busy volunteering for Lifeline, organising home improvements to increase our self sufficiency and therefore reduce our exposure to inflation and reorganising our finances so as to maintain wealth during a sustained downturn in bonds and equities. Life is good, despite the frustrations and I’m daily reminded of how badly many other people are going as well as how lucky I am.

Hi, My name is Anil and this is my first post. I am 64yo and apparently have retired, but keep getting asked to go offshore in the oil & gas game. I have completed 2 bucket lists so far and just made up the third one! Wish me luck. Have escaped death 10 times and am on life no:11. So trying to make the most if each and every single day. Plan to write a book very soon. Just got back from an smazing 2 month vacation in the USA, India, Bhutan and Maldives. If anyone needs any info on these areas feel free to get in touch. I am also a keen bikie and have an Indian Scout and a Classic Royal Enfield. Plan to ride from Adelaide to Darwin thus completing the entire aussie coastline. Have just completed playing the Highest, Lowest/ Hottest, Longest, Oldest and Coldest Golf Courses in the world!!
Cheers
Anil
