Australia, I imagine, would be a great place to retire. In your case, not really, I feel you have been very productive with other things.

Your stories in Medium are always interesting, which is great for all of us readers, because it's through your work we're able to transcend time and place. With what I can only imiagine are a-thousand-and-one stories in your chest, you are a gem for the Medium community.

I shall endeavour to read everything you have on this platform...to my eternal entertainment and benefit.

Keep writing Fred! We will keep on reading.
