Is this retirement?

Is this retirement? I now seem to be working harder than when I was head of school, getting into work some time after 8 am, returning home late afternoon, and skipping lunch in between. Still, it's a ball. On Monday - just one day, I gave a well received seminar, sent the final materials for an article in a tier 1 international journal, discussed future projects on labour market conditions in north-west NSW with a colleague, and was invited to give a lecture at the University of Queensland. Yesterday, I mainly worked on my paper on Australia's housing affordability for the State of Australian Cities Conference in Adelaide in November and on my current Australian Research Council Grant (with others) on change and adjustment in the agriculture heartland. And today, I'm working up a grant application with the Cotton CRC! As Ned Kelly famously said, "that's life".
