lunastar's bio
I live in the UK. Feeling lonely in lockdown, although I shop and do essentials it is not like attending the groups I go to or seeing friends. Most of my friends have partners but I don't . Married very happily and gradually got used to bring just me in the home we shared. I would like to chat with other, see what their day is etc. No holidays yo plan and book so looking fir other interests . -

Dating know how advice pleaseI have not been on a dating site either orchard lane. Mostly because I think that men my age want a 40'year old., rather have someone that they can get on with as friends, know there has to be an attraction to develop into a relationship, but it can't be instantly there.,You could say anything and be anyone and there are some crazy people. Been widowed a very long time now and I've missed the boat so to speak. Even my family said join a site but never did.. I gave been asked out a few times but knew they were not for me, it's hot yo ve mutual, I justvsaidvinwasntnreadybfirbtgst but thank younger adding. They soon found condone that did feel it, so orchard lane, perhaps it's time to give it a go,ViewDate:

Morning from a silver-surfing Yorkshire lass who is spending too many days not speaking to anyone - but the walls.I would like to chat with you Lottiebell, understand exactly how you feel. I have just commented to someone else who feels the same as us, I feel adrift, all the activities I did with people, dried up apart from one lot of friends, I see them once a week for a few hours. Going to a local church, I don’t frequent it, that are having a meet up this morning for other like minded people so will see how it goes, I might be out in 1/2 hour. Love reading, gardening and walking but unable to do so for the last few months. Also I like tv. The soaps, documentaries, Long Lost Relatives but not Davinia McCall. Davinia and Amanda Holden, find it difficult viewing, I don’t know if you can send private messages on here or whether everything is viewed by everyone, hopefully I will find out.ViewDate:

Looking for like-minded members to chat toHi Mandymoo, Welcome from a newby, although a member for some time don’t understand the site really. You sound as if you have a really busy life. I am retired and never stop, don’t know how I had time to work full time really. Bit if a home body really, although I love meeting up with people and go to a quiz once a month, plus dying to get back to the theatre, have a concert I’m going to December that’s been cancelled twice.ViewDate:

BBC VigilYes I thoroughly enjoyed it, only watched it as I was a bit bored but so glad I did, How anyone copes living below the ocean I don’t know, Pity my favourite was killed off but perhaps he will be on again in flashbacks.ViewDate:

New here and finding my way aroundHi Gra111, I’m still trying to navigate after more than a year, in fact I found it so difficult even in lockdown I didn’t come on, but giving it another go. How did you cope in lockdown? I coped fine with lots of activities but never realised how disconnected I now feel as all my joint activities have stopped. Starting again really but getting older.ViewDate:

New member looking for guidanceI am in the same position, I joined ages ago but even in lockdown, I found it difficult to navigate, so trying to get involved in these chats and hope something sinks in. How have you managed in lockdown? I managed by walking a lot, tv and huge amounts of books plus gardening, in fact so much gardening I now can hardly move with sciatica,ViewDate:

My Mother's WillI wouldn’t give them anything. I look at it from the other side to speak, would rather leave it to charity if my wishes were not followed, one sister left her own mom 25 years, how could she? Then the others are wasters, so in effect your mothers life earnings will be frittered. There are lovely caring people out there who in terrible circumstances battle on, young carers for example. I would help those, the many small charities not the main ones, I would help those. What would your mother say. Just give the sisters 5 thousand each. Buy some much needed hospital equipment. In the end it’s up to you if you carry out your mothers wishes.ViewDate:

Saga's perfect for Silver SurfersI would live to have my husband to travel with but since he died I do holiday alone and like the security of a group or a company rep I can go to. No holiday for me this year, feel do envious when I see the couples round here going off to holiday in uk, most are older than me and had each other in lockdown. My holidays kept me going.ViewDate:

What is the most useless object you have ever bought?Sunglasses Nana, I do hope you are well on the road to recovery. I know it's a big outlay but understandable in the circumstances. Have you tried contacting the seller with the medical evidence that explains why you did what you did and the financial repercussions. Hopefully when things settle you can sell them on. Wishing you well.xViewDate:

Should wearing a face mask be compulsory in shops?Wearing a mask shows you are taking it seriously. I have never gone in a shop without one it disposable gloves. A few neighbours have fell about laughing when they bump into me, but I really don't care. I don't feel safe without one as I find some people think it's all over it it won't happen to them.ViewDate:

Problems with PeopleYoga fan, How are you now? Have you been working through this Pandemic? I believe in keeping the work place entirely separate from personal, do not leave yourself open by talking about feelings etc. Comments can be taken out of context and used against you. You are still grieving, look after yourself. Families are a minefield, you look at tv and see all these happy ones,mlooking out for each other, I find real life the opposite, petty grievances and jealousy often rearing its head. I wonder if towards the end of life most of us end up alone despite those we loved and cared for. Through this lockdown, I have felt alone , even by a close friend and a daughter, despite me contacting them their was no time to do the same back, it hurt me as much as staying in to think I was if do little value, busy with their own lives. Life changes so much when you lose your partner I feel you drop of the radar. You are not alone, many of us feel the same as you.ViewDate:

TRAVELING SOLO AND LOOKING FOR A COMPANION?Hi Everyone, I live in the midlands and gave enjoyed many holidays with friends plus a few solo holidays. My friends are completely put off travelling now but I am still eager. It is though important to meet up with peope you get on with, if you are with someone and you're not on the same wavelength it can be awful. I remember the only time that happened to me with someone I thought knew well, she was a nightmare in most ways,ViewDate:

Saga's perfect for Silver SurfersI don't know why you saw that vision of blue rinses. I have not holidayed with Saga, preferring cruises until recently. Saga holidays do have elderly people, and why not, we all get old, however they were part of it, many people in their 50's and 60's. I wonder if people ever talks to these elderly people with blue rinses, they have lived a life and many are so interesting. I love people of all ages, age is in immaterial it is your attitude and zest of life. I go out of my way to pass the time of day with these older than myself and hope when I'm considered past it someone takes the time to do the same.ViewDate:

Saga's perfect for Silver SurfersI am just so disappointed that two cruises booked will not be going ahead as I've loved cruising since being widowed. I was due to go to Iceland next week on Cunard. I am loathe to book another girl 2021 as the bother of getting deposits back etc is daunting, Also those stranded in their cabins at the beginning of the Pandemic haunts me, being alone in a small cabin having meals left outside the door frightens me more than the virus. I don't know where or how to holiday in future.ViewDate:

Moving to Retirement Home?Hi Fest, Have you made a decision yet? I gather you don't live in UK. This Pandemic has put a lot of plans on hold. It has certainly put me off retirement homes, many residents just my age, locked in their room for fear of the virus spreading through the home. Although I have been very lonely on my own, I to am alone, I could go in the garden and go out for walks. I am now in a bit if a quandary as what type of hone I do need for the later years to come.ViewDate:

Lonely and vulnerable and looking to chatI think that a lot of people just look after themselves now, perhaps your neighbours do not realise how low you are feeling. Please ring them up and say it's just for a chat as you have been feeling lonely on your own, ask them how they are, how they are coping. Also even if you don't go to church, why not contact them as well as most if them are only to willing to get you some shopping if you are stuck in or provide support, also Age Concern might be worth calling. Thank goodness for the Internet, the revision and radio.ViewDate:

LonelinessWell I admire how you have made a good life for yourself since being widowed. It isn't easy I know to start again, but you are obviously a resourceful lady. I have never heard of an Internet crisis line, is that for people with a certain illness?ViewDate:

LonelinessI do feel as if I am a duty now to family. I see them for the odd hour, but even my grandchildren are not inclined to call or visit. Friends married and I have felt very alone in lockdown, I do far more ringing up of people than they ring me. I suppose couples just don't imagine what it's like being on their own. That's why I joined this to hear others viewpoints and knowI'm not alone in this, it will end. Feel very sorry for those that have been housebound due to disability, it's like this all the time for them. I am guilty of being selfish for considering how it must be for them, I have promised that this will change me hopefully for the better in future. My normal activities when not in lockdown, were walking groups, history, reading and gardening, but I've been doing so much solitary walking now ive injured my knee. Live in middle of UK and look forward to chatting. -
