Hello!
Watch this postI joined a few weeks ago so I thought it's about time I said hello and introduce myself.
My name is Lynn and currently living in East London but hope to move one day.
I have one grown-up son who moved out of home about 18 months ago, so I'm a bit lost still.
I also have one cat who is an old boy now, he's 14 and I've had him since birth, he was a litter of 2 and I lost his brother last year.
I'm struggling with health issues so I'm not working at the moment, unfortunately.
I like reading I read any type of book, at the moment I'm reading about Jack the Ripper!
I also like to try to do a little writing of my own but I'm not very good lol. Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you all are well.
Take care, Lynn

I wish I could visit the UK, but my travelling was only once to Sweden (I live in Cochrane, Alberta Canada), to meet my pen pal who I married in 1996! I think I drove him crazy when I was there because all I wanted to see is the ancient buildings (Canada is relatively new and buildings over 200 years old are fascinating). With Karl driving, I would scream CHURCH and nearly caused an accident, lol. And graveyards are quite interesting with some very old gravestones. I enjoyed the Varsa ship museum too.
I had a stopover in London both ways and on the trip in, had to transfer airports and take a bus to Scandinavia airline. The air was very soft, with moisture. Where I live is 1159 m above sea level and air is very dry.
Since developing diabetes, my husband lost his eyesight and developed kidney disease, I am now his caregiver. He is extremely angry at his fate and unfortunately he takes it out on me. But by the Grace of God, I am mostly keeping him on an even keel. I recently started yoga and qigong to keep my sanity.
And from this post, you might notice I love writing. I spent my work life as IT support and I love making a machine do what I want it to, so it was mostly enjoyable work. However, it did take its toll on my hands, fingers, neck and spine with arthritis, so am paying in spades for that lifestyle.
Looking forward to chatting with you and my email is [email protected].
I haven't been on this site for a few months and decided to jump back in when someone responded to an old post. It's not that easy to get responses it seems so I thought I would write to you and suggest that you make some more comments to other people's posts.
I noticed your post because my cat (aged 16) passed away a few months ago and I realise how difficult losing a pet that has been part of your life for so long can be.
I am sorry to hear that you have health issues and life can seem very isolated. You may be disappointed that your post did not attract more responses but don't be put off. I have met a new friend through this site. It's also worth writing more as this might help with you ambition to write a short story or even a book. Everyone has to start somewhere.
Good luck and best wishes.
