but why are you sad, Sid?

Withdrawal symptoms having moved 200 miles from where I spent much of my
life.
When you are working you meet many people to share your achievements and
failures with.
When you are retired you do something and then feel slightly irked that
there is no-one to pat you on the back, make sarcastic comments or tell you
how much better you could have done it....
