My new favourite Spanish phrase – sounds so much better than 'I'm retired'! Can't imagine how I haven't discovered this before.
Assume the word comes from Latin – therefore jubile is joy and jubilate is shout for joy – seems fairly apt to me! Could even go as far as Psalm 100 – Jubilate Deo – but maybe that's a step too far.
Many of the places that we have stayed in the last week or so have had little or no English and one of the standard questions on the hotel registration form is 'occupation' so I had to come up with an answer. Now I say it to everyone whether they ask or not!
