I'm in West Coast of USA and would be interested in chatting with those interested in sailing.At one time I belonged to the Old Gaffers Assoc. Really enjoyed learning about the old type sailboats still being used in Great Britain. Mine is 40 foot, steel double ender designed by Tom Colvin. Thank you.

Perhaps Hilary Clinton`s worried many Democrats and they voted for Trump.

Yes, I think you are right, there is going to be more trouble with Trump`s army. At risk of sounding spiteful, isn`t it wonderful that the PGA are turning their back on him.

Biden, like Johnson, has got the massive coronavirus quandary to deal with. The balance between the economy and the safety of the people.

Our right-wing prime minister is being forced to act like a socialist because the land slide of socialist seats is obliging him to think about keeping them.

Anyhow, we wish America a welcome back to democracy.

Hi! So sorry to hear about your dog. That's a hard thing, losing such a good friend. I have a senior cat and she's my best friend. I'm originally from Texas but have lived in New Mexico the past three years. I work at a friend's farm gardening and tending livestock during the spring, summer, and early fall. Love making goat cheese. I love hiking, fishing, gardening, crafting, and cooking. I'm looking for a new craft. There are so many to choose from. Do you have a favorite?

Hi Craig
Sorry to hear of your loss.
These are very tough times at the moment and I think lots of people are feeling lonely and isolated; even though I spend time with my family I still feel lonely and isolated at times.
Would be nice to hear from you.

Hi KnS, I am a 69 year old widow and am up for a chat today. I will log off now and hope to get a notification but will come back on in ten mins.

I was wondering what people were doing with lockdown loneliness?

Hi Reevej
I am a lady in my sixties, also enjoying the opportunities which the internet gives us. I have learnt a lot about literature I think! ) and have currently joined an internet choir. I found it touching to know that people thousands of miles away are literally singing from the same song sheet !

I would like to find people in a similiar situation especially in view of this lockdown, where in my view one can also hear the silence !
Feel free to be in touch, if you would like to.

All the best

I joined the site a while ago but haven't been on for a while. I'm still trying to find my way around . I'm Jen, 70 from the North East, retired and not finding lockdown too difficult. I've been taking advantage of the internet, language courses, exercise classes, virtual tours and lots of reading. It would be nice to people in similar situation.
Response from reevej made on 21st Nov 2020 09:49:19
Hi Paul,
I know what you mean. I was talking with my nephew yesterday about the effects of covid long term on people's psyche and I realised that I spend a lot more time having conversations with myself than with other people and definitely don't feel as articulate as before. Words do not come as easily and as for names, I don't try to remember anymore so a conversation can be a bit like playing charades.
However , I feel really fortunate that my life hasn't been turned upside down and that life is still good.
How are things with you?
Jen

Hope I have pressed the right button ,and you are Anthony ,if not ,what the heck ,You have the same attitude as me ,,If it breathes ,I talk to it .I find that the conversations usually start off a tad stilted ,but they usually relax ,and some amazing chat erupts If you don't like OLD ,try" Qualified Wrinkly ,"that usually brings a smile .Age is just a number and to be ignored ,and treated as irrelevant , I sometimes forget how to spell the smallest word ,Walking around the lakes ,wonderful ,I am drawn to water ,and get withdrawal symptoms if I don't get to have a paddle and a windswept beach ,bliss. Sadly been thwarted at the moment ,because of you know what . I am looking for a house near the ocean ,so this problem ,will no longer be a problem I write poems , /gets stuff out of the system ..So ,my wrinkly friend ,,,go iron yourself

I see you live in Yorkshire Ariadne, are you close to the The Yorkshire Dales National Park, My late Wife's family lived there and I used to love walking the three peaks area
Response from Ariadne made on 13th Nov 2020 07:37:25 > @Len45
Morning Len ,coffee and mail time ,in bed of course. Did you change your mind about " talking "
as you ended very abruptly . No matter I assume that you are a man of few words, and ,let your feet do the walking .,Can you give me a clue as to which bit of the moors you liked best ,as it is such a vast area. Did you actually climb the three Peaks ? You obviously do not live near enough to enjoy the Dales on a daily basis . Not a good day for walking today ,it's absolutely siling down.

Hi Rhyll. I'm new here as well. My nickname is Ryan5. I'm planning a move to a new country where I only have one or two limited contacts, so I'm feeling a little tense about the big change. So yeah, if you think you'd like to try me out on a chat, I'd like that. Be well.
Response from Ariadne made on 12th Nov 2020 18:51:49
Hello ,,been there ,done that ,but ,no "T" shirt. I moved to a different country and stayed for 15 years ,Semi enjoyed it Horse riding on the edge of the Atlantic ,happy memories. Rode on the beach where Saving of Private Ryan was being filmed ,Amazing small amount of beach used, .Depending where you are off to ,I found that as an English person ,I was not made very welcome ,Think the potato famine came to mind ,and it was obviously my fault, Would ask if you are Welsh ????
Don't be tense ,and don't take all your acquired rubbish with you ,there's plenty of that ,no matter where you go .
