Just joined so I'm introducing myself.

I will be 67 next month and retired from the many different jobs in my working life. I guess that I didn’t ever find my calling. I went to university at age 59 but when it was over it was too late to launch a new career. I wanted to lecture but students don’t want to listen to old fogies, so sadly I put aside that idea and settled into life as an eccentric dog owner.

I live in a beautiful Lancashire valley surrounded by hills that demand they be walked/climbed, how could I refuse?

I would like to do a bit of cycle touring but a recent diagnosis of spondylosis and some hip pain means that I may not be doing a world tour anytime soon!

I’m keen to make some friends as I have been on my own for a very long time now, my daughters don’t bother much with me and I don’t have a partner.I didn’t expect to be so isolated at this time in my life, isn’t it strange the way family and friends seem to forget us when we get past 60?

I will pop in regularly and hope to strike up some friendships.

Hi, first time I’ve looked on here, just looking for someone to chat to. My family are all on holiday and I’m looking after my daughters dog. Feeling a bit lost really. My husband of 52 years passed away in May. Just trying to get my life back on track. I enjoy listening to Irish country music, I like to watch Spotlight tv Sky 376. I like to go to my caravan in the Dales. I live near the coast but I love the country as well. Best of both worlds. I’m lucky really.

Hello every one, I am new to this site. I'm soon to be 52 and a widower. sadly my wife passed away not so long ago. Looks like I am starting a new chapter in my life. What it will be I do not know as it is early days. Just want to get to some sort of normality. I am an optimistic person, my main hobbies at the moment are cycling and photography. I also like walking, music and eating out.
In the future I would like to travel more and meet more people.

Hi there, I see this post was written five years ago. how are you now? I hope you have found your calling and I too am halfway through an OU degree and fancied lecturing too, but I agree this might not be as easy as I had hoped. I will finish the degree for fun, then get into my micro-camper and go exploring! Hope you're still on here. Sending you warmth from another Celtic witchy sort of a gal 🙂

Hi there. I just saw your post, I am 68 and recently retired. Like you I also never found my calling. I guess it was different when we were growing up. I had little guidance and ended up doing accounts work most of my life. Very dull. And maybe never found the confidence to change. Very brave of you to go to university at age 59. Well done. I am here if you would like to have a friendship.

Hi Iv just joined looking forward to chatting to new people I'm a widow my wife passed 4 years ago been in lockdown for 4 months just starting to go out but only shopping hope to chat soon with someone have a good day and take care
Response from Dinabob4 made on 22nd Jul 2020 16:16:42
Hi JustRay,
Welcome to the site. Nice to meet you. You should find some conversations on here you can get involved in when you find your way around.

I hope getting to the shops is helpful in that it is less isolating.
Stay safe. (Hand gel and /or wipes are useful to have with you).
I don't know what the advice is where you are about face coverings. In England we need to wear one in shops from 24th July ( unless exempt for certain reasons).

Have a good day, the sun's out.
Take care.

Hello, I've just joined today. Looking forward to reading some comments and maybe adding some of my own.

I'm feeling a bit isolated as my husband and I are both shielding (in my case, I'm not totally sure why) and working at home. I do go out with the dog and the very occasional visit to the shop, but it's all becoming a bit boring now. Seems to be very little to watch on the TV, although I'm not really a TV buff at the best of times, so just finding it all a bit heavy going sometimes.

Will leave my introduction at that for now and maybe just take it as it comes.

Response from Dinabob4 made on 17th Jul 2020 21:56:56
Hi SLB1964,

We need something to look forward to I think. As you say spending so much time at home as well as working from home can become a bit too much 'same old!'

You say you are shielding, do you feel you want to go out more? Maybe you can agree to meet people socially distanced in their gardens? or for a walk.
There isn't much on the TV I agree. I do not overdo the TV either but there is nothing new at the moment. There has been a recent new series of Long lost family if you like that?
Are you in the south or north of the UK?
Response from The_bees_knees made on 18th Jul 2020 20:05:10
Hello Dinabob4,

I would like to interject here as there appears to be confusion between 'social-distancing' and 'shielding' and a distinction needs to be made.

For those unaware of what a letter from the NHS Foundation Trust looks like, sent out by the instruction from the Government.
Excerpts taken from a second letter reads:-

"Now is not the time to become complacent and relax. The (South West) has been relatively spared in this first wave of coronavirus infection but it is expected that this will not remain the case.
With the government announcement of phased lockdown release, it appears that you could start to a more normal life; however this is definitely not the case for those with long term conditions such as .............. .............
In fact as lockdown measures are relaxed for the general population the risk of infection will increase to shielded patients.
It is therefore imperative that you continue to shield.
1. Do not rlkea e your house u less absolutely necessary.
2. Do not attend any gatherings. This includes gatherings of friends and families in private spaces, for example family homes... etc
3. Strictly avoid contact with someone displaying symptoms of coronavirus.....etc etc..
The Government is currently advising people to shield, and while regularly monitoring this position the period is likely to be extended."

PLEASE continue to be diligent if shielding.
Social-distancing is an entirely different thing.
Shielding people don't have this option.
Response from SLB1964 made on 18th Jul 2020 20:24:40 > @The_bees_knees
Yes, that's correct.

From 6th July, we are allowed to relax a bit and meet up to 6 friends outdoors/go for a walk etc., and are allowed a "bubble" with one other household. Then from 1st August, we have to go to strict social distancing & limit contact as soon as possible - but can go to work!

I do (and have been) walking the dog as we live quite rurally and it's easy to stay away from other people. My husband can't really even do this though, as has terminal cancer so is pretty much housebound - although he is now allowed to go the hospital.
Response from The_bees_knees made on 18th Jul 2020 20:32:58 > @SLB1964
My regards to you both!

Response from Dinabob4 made on 19th Jul 2020 00:27:31 > @SLB1964
Hi both, Yes, I had heard there were some new options for those shielding to go for walks socially distanced etc as SLB1964 has just confirmed and that they could also meet in gardens socially distanced. I was just asking if SLB was allowed to do this and how she felt about it. Of course not all those shielding will choose to do this.

There is some individual risk assessment taking place I think within the rules. Some are more cautious than they have to be. It is up to the individual.
Have a good day.
Response from SLB1964 made on 19th Jul 2020 14:07:16 > @Dinabob4
Yes, I agree Dinabob4. Personally, for me, I've continued to take my dog for walks, out of necessity. I work 3 days a week and, on those days, she has a walker but she still needs a morning and evening "ablution" walk as she won't go on the garden to do her business. So I've been doing that all along. I've also made the occasional trip to the supermarket to pick up prescriptions and the odd bit or bat that I've forgotten to add to the weekly delivery. Personally, I'm not totally sure why I'm shielding. I'm an asthmatic and my meds doses are quite high but I wouldn't have said it was necessary for me to be housebound per se, as I'm normally quite active. That said, I have restricted going out substantially and, working at home, I've felt a bit stifled.

It's a bit different in my husband's case as he has no immune system and his condition is very serious so he hasn't left the house at all. Since restrictions were lifted, however, we have allowed his best friend to come into the house and classify that as our "bubble". Whilst a little premature, we have no way of knowing how much time he has left 🙁 If the weather is nice, they sit in the garden but I can't expect them to do that if it's throwing it down,

So it's a case of being sensible to your circumstances as individual people will have different levels of necessity. In my case, I think it was to make it easier to insist on working at home, although it wasn't necessary in any event, as my employer managed to get set up for all of us to do that, regardless of vulnerabilities. It's only now that they are giving a limited amount of people the option to return to the office if their individual circumstances - which can include mental wellbeing - make working at home difficult. But it's taken 4 months to reach that point. Personally, I won't be returning before the end of the year at the earliest, I wouldn't have thought.
Response from Dinabob4 made on 22nd Jul 2020 16:06:24 > @SLB1964
Hi SLB

I can see your dilemmas. Everyone has a unique situation and you have to weigh everything up. I am sorry to hear your husband is so poorly. Your decision to have some company in a bubble for your husband sounds like it would benefit him especially as it can be in the garden at the moment too and you can make the most of having the summer while we have it. Maybe you working from home has been more protective for your husband too as well as yourself and others. The advice was always work from home if you can, wasn’t it and it is now starting to shift a bit this month (for the economy and as well for some people’s mental wellbeing as some are more affected by it than others). We all need some balance though and at least you can get out to walk the dog and get some exercise too. Yes it is still a case of being sensible. Do you like gardening?

Hi. I joined a little while ago but never did anything about it so today thought I would have a look as today can only be described as a 'down day'.
I am a lot older than you at 78 but young at heart, if you will excuse an overused phrase! My husband died at the end of November last year and I was struggling to get used to being alone and then along came lock down. Just when I was starting to go out and about a bit, nothing. Its been very hard. Zoom and phone calls helped lots and a caring daughter who delivered shopping helped but its not the same.
I am lucky enough to live in a beautiful part of the world which I have enjoyed to the full, Long walks in the Purbecks and gorgeous beaches. Hard to enjoy any of it when you are alone. I do have good friends and am able to see my granddaughter now which does help a lot. I just hope tomorrow is another day when I can appreciate how lucky I really am.
Sorry, I've had my moan now and hope to chat when I am more upbeat!

Hi Chrissiebabe,
I hope today is a better day for you. This lockdown has been very unkind to those who have not long had a loss. The very thing you need to do is keep busy and go out when you feel like it. Sorry to hear about your husband.
How have you found using Zoom? Glad you have friends and family to stay in contact with.

Lucky you, you live near a beach!

I use zoom too and do a weekly quiz with the family!
Response from Chrissiebabe made on 18th Jul 2020 13:26:01 > @Dinabob4
Hi Dinabob4
Thank you for your message. Yes, I try to keep busy and do use Zoom. Its been a Godsend during lockdown. We've had two birthdays celebrated at a distance over Zoom and I've been doing a quiz every week up until now. Was just having an off day, had several this week. It would have been my husband's birthday soon so I guess that is another 'first' without him.
Will pick up again soon I hope.
Best wishes

Hello-My name is Sharon. I am 68 years old, live in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. I am not returning to my work as a part time floral designer due to my feeling that it is unsafe for me to do so. I have COPD, and am taking every precaution to stay safe. I have been a widow for almost 19 years, and I live alone. My garden has been my refuge during this time, not looking forward to what may be a long, lonely winter. I love to read, our libraries have been closed since March, but just started a curbside pickup.
I have 3 children, one in Utah, one in Texas and one son who lives locally, but unfortunately, we have been estranged for the past year. I have 2 grandchildren, a girl 12, and a boy 22.
I look forward to chatting about any number of topics.

Hello Sharon, from the UK.
Nice to meet you.

I agree it is good to take precautions to stay safe. I'm glad you have a garden to keep you occupied and it is relaxing to be outside in nature. I enjoy the garden too, not that I am a great gardener! but I know the basics and like to keep it tidy.

Do you enjoy reading? That is something you can do in the winter. Great you have a curbside pick up now. Perhaps you can still nip out in the garden in the autumn and winter too and just wrap up warm!

Bye for now,
Dina

My name is Jayde. I am 50 years and I live in Scotland. I've just recently joined this site and I am still trying to find my way around. I would like to meet new people for friendship, chat and banter. I am quite easy to get on with and have been told that I can be quite humorous.

Due to MS (and now Covid restrictions) I don't get out of the house and it can be quite lonely so I am looking forward to being part of an online community. I love music, graphic design, crafts, reading, computer games, puzzles, movies and much more!

I do look forward to meeting y'all.

Hello Nartane and welcome to Silversurfers. There are lots of friendly people on here. Which part of the UK are you from?

Fancy a chat with someone outside of my country. I am from Taiwan and have been studying MBA in Sheffield University in year 2000, I miss my time in the UK.

I currently work for a European company that design and manufacture Medical Device.

Everything seems OK so far, but have a bit of mid-age thinking and try to figure out what life can be better in near future.
