What does luxury mean to you
While reading a thread on this forum today i saw the statement
Workshop – luxury
This got me thinking as to luxury in my life. What does luxury mean to me now in my current location—age—financial position – ETC
The Luxury of Location.
1 For 50 of my 67 years i have lived within a 10 minute walk of the beach, this is luxury.
2 a walk on the beach with no loose dogs running around.
3 somebody else walking takes 5 minutes to have a chat.
The luxury of age
1 My kids are grown up/are happy/have families.
2 my Granddaughter says “awe poppy you’re funny. my grandson says “awe poppy you’re fat” then giggles
3 I go to a pub in the next town and a blonde shapely attractive 30 something gives me a hug and a peck on the cheek and says ”hello doll how are you “
The luxury of finance.
1 I have enough to live on in my own modest way
2 I owe nobody nothing
3 I manage
The luxury of Fishing
1 The weather’s good
2 The other fisher people are chatty
3 I catch something/anything
The luxury of Travel
1 last year spent a week in Burra and Clare in South Australia
2 last year spent 3 weeks touring Far North Queensland
3 Next month will spend 2 weeks touring Tasmania
The luxury of health
1 The pills are working
2 Could be a lot better
3 Will be better.
Life’s luxuries.
Food A scotch fillet
Beer Will alway be available on Friday night.
Friends i have none, acquaintances i have many.
I have my computer my camera my fishing gear and a roof over my head.
Life is good.
Cheers FredCheers Fred

Luxury for me - an hour alone in the workshop. I love my kids, and I love that they want to be in the 'shop with me when I am working, but keeping an eye on them when I am trying to do something really eats into productivity!

Luxury: Any day when I don't throw up i.e. the pain is managable. Everything else is icing on the cake.
I previously thought luxury was:
Time spent with loved ones or friends.
Time spent alone pursuing hobbies.
Time spent with horses and other various animals/pets.
Good food and drink.
..all the usual stuff..
I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

fenderbelly says "Friends i have none, acquaintances i have many"
Some years ago I heard someone say most people you know are acquaintances not friends.
Friends are the ones you would call to go Bail for you at 3.00 am after you’re charged for a pretty serious, out of character, drunken incident.
