Is it realistic to expect over 70s to remain in their homes for 4 months?Hi AnnSg, I two have just had an operation cancelled for arthritis in my ankle. The way I keep it going is to go for a walk . Or walk to the bus stop to go to the groups which have all been cancelled. It is a tough time.ViewDate:

Is it realistic to expect over 70s to remain in their homes for 4 months?I usually have a really busy week with all the groups To which I belong. I do have lots of craft work I could be doing and books I have yet to read but as I have arthritis it is essential to get everything moving first thing and a walk to the bus stop will do that.ViewDate:

Which side of the bed do you sleep on?According to history, Inn Keepers used to push the left side of the bed against the wall so you could only get in the right side. The left side was considered sinister from the latin. Really hard luck if you were left handed.ViewDate:

Are you concerned about Mothering Sunday visits?I usually volunteer at a National Trust property on Mothering Sunday morning which is great as there are so many happy families coming in. This year the National Trust Properties are closed so I will be home but I only live near one daughter who will only be making one visit to deliver shopping so I do not have to do it, so it will be a quiet day.ViewDate:

Daily diaries of those who are self-isolating due to CoronavirusHi to this group. I am self isolating because I am seventy nine and have a lung condition. Unfortunately I live on my own as my husband departed this earth fourteen years ago. I live near one of my daughters who is. going to shop for me. However I would rather shop myself but that is not going to be an option (I am being told). Luckily I live near a canal so I can get out and walk. Just keep my distance from the other few users. I also do crafting and I have plenty to go at. However I really really, miss the social contact. My other daughters live some distance away and we usually all meet up at Easter which will not happen this year, Have I moaned enough? I think so.ViewDate:

Should there be a specified age to retake your practical driving test?I believe the original idea when you had to reapply for a driving license at 70 was you should take a test but the disabled lobby saw that one out. Regrettably if you want to keep driving just tick everything on the application form seems to be the rule. I am still driving at 78 but I only do local journeys. I found long distance driving alone was very tiring and my reactions are not as fast so now the train takes the strain.ViewDate:

Is obesity a lifestyle choice or a disease?I never had a problem with weight as I led a busy active life running Hotels where food was always available. Now retired and living alone I find it difficult not to comfort eat and realise there are many reasons for people not controlling their weight. Many of them physiological and therefore difficult to deal with.ViewDate:

Is it too soon for Easter eggs to go on sale?My understanding is that the orders have to go in before Christmas for Easter Egg delivery. Once at the shop they will try to sell obviously. The true meaning of Easter is gone.ViewDate:
