LonelinessHallo Tigerags (what a great tag) Here I am thinking I should do something and once again sitting at the pooter reading the mail (mostly adverts) and thinking Friday - a night for dance - only I'm too rounded to dance, falling arches and glued in the trainers. I enjoy a coffee but would rather have company to thrill me with this stimulating discussion I hoping to discover. I did spend a little time with my daughter at the festive season and her friends but they were merry and I had to drive, so discussion there was a bit one sided - it was more stimulating driving home watching a 'Mecedes' behaving badly at 95 mph on the Motorway. My Polly (the Polo) was creeping home slowly - she's not much fun. I have Arti (a Scottie) but there lies a funny story for another time. You take care. The sun shines most days (I think).ViewDate:

LonelinessI've had an active working life - so this brain doesn't stop because of age. I'm not interested in housework (I do it) as I am, in stimulated discussion. This presents a problem. I don't fit in any slot. I never had time for golf (not too good with bites) I can play bridge, (but was taught by peeps who cheated!) I've sat and chaired a lot of committees (so got that T shirt). That leaves travel - I travel alone - and I've been to US three times and Canada once. Got caught in gale force 11 winds in the Med (that was a brandy night) as everything including the stage was swaying and sliding and since my cabin was under the swimming pool I didn't fancy going to bed. So now I have my sea legs I'm bored with that! I sat and thought about what next (time is ticking) - learn an instrument - so I took up the ukulele. Mmmmm Was it a good idea? One doesn't have to read music just know the songs (Oh woe is me because years ago I played trombone in a brass band (marches)) and with sore fingers and broken nails I play the uke maybe 3 times a week - but most of the players are couples or young. They don't even want a lift to the gigs. Yes so where do we go from here?
