Hasbeen, sounds like you may have reached the point where you need to
consider a retirement village.
I have found it a very good decision. The men have their own group and
meet which means you get to know more of them better than you do at
events for all such as dinners etc.
Because of all the talents available we can help each other out with
solutions to problems. Maintenance is handled by the village staff.
No climbing ladders to clear gutters etc.
Some people go to all events, some are never seen, it is all personal preference.
If interested look for a village that is Strata Title which is similar
rules to a unit in a block of units, but has separate villas.
Strata Title is fairly rare but is better than Licensed Occupancy
which is the most common. Being strata title you own the property.
There are many in your area

Bazz, I'd jump off the edge first mate. I have a lovely Rhodesian Ridgeback because his owners went into a retirement village, & couldn't take him. Then there is the other dog, the cat, lathe, tools & parking for 4 cars, if the lady is coming with me.

No I might down size, but I'll be independent to the end.
