Now that I am self isolating maybe i will find peace with my own company, finding things to do, reading is a huge passion of mine, at the moment i am reading The man who didn't call (sounds familiar lol) by Rosie Walsh which is a real page turner. exercising at home maybe i can lose that weight. Thought i'd go for a walk later sun is out and as long as i stay away from other people it is ok.
does anyone else have any ideas of keeping you not going stir crazy, or just a chat its always good to talk.
lets keep each other company

“It’ s 2040 , John opened the cupboard and grabbed the last loo paper his mum had bought in March 2020”
We can only laugh!
I am at the younger end of old age at 61 and my husband is 66 and we are very lucky to have no underlying conditions. We saw this coming and prepared well getting DIY supplies as well as an extra packet of loo roll and a few bits. We do slimming world and I always have meals in freezer as I batch cook and local green grocer is fully stocked so we won’t starve. My husband goes on his walk every day and brings back a cabbage or some apples or whatever. We are clearing the conservatory which is a mammoth job as it houses a big sofa and tv, a big desk and office supplies, our drinks fridge , a small chest freezer as well as a treadmill. We plan to clean and decorate it. Think virus will be long gone before we get to it. So far we have sorted out paperwork and have a sack full to burn now. And tidied out loads of drawers, we have donated a lot of printing supplies like photo paper, transparencies and various kinds of printing papers and cards my Mum left to the local Senior school. Have found loads of stuff we had forgotten or lost and process is very cathartic. Found the Santa sacks I lost at Christmas lol. If anyone want a to chat with me drop me a line
sad world!
I hope you enjoy being part of our community.

I have a Jack Russell dog, and she is my lifeline. Love walking with her and having an empty nest, and separated from my husband, find life challenging.
Hope to get some new interests and perspectives for the future.
