THE RETIREMENT 'ME'

A definite perk of retirement is not giving a shit about one's appearance. Even though I've sported a beard since late adolescence, I used to shave around the monstrosity's borders almost daily. Now, maybe once a fortnight. And no one notices.

 

Please note! I'm not saying that vanity and delusion have completely disappeared from my psyche. It's just that they have morphed into some other form.....probably not visible to the general population and maybe not even recognisable to me.

 

As you can see from the accompanying image/ selfie, I have plenty to be thankful for and my newly acquired 'devil may care' attitude towards personal grooming is bolstered by rugged good looks.
