Thanks for the advice.
I'm only a first-time retiree, not a repeat offender, so I've yet to learn how to define and explain myself.  I've committed myself to a handover phase but it seems that while it ain't broke that isn't even starting.
Officially retired seemed like a good enough shortcut explanation.

Two weeks ago I gained the honour of being able to call myself a first time grandfather.  That has helped to redefine myself.  FWIW I'm 69.
