I am a lady in my sixties, also enjoying the opportunities which the internet gives us. I have learnt a lot about literature I think! ) and have currently joined an internet choir. I found it touching to know that people thousands of miles away are literally singing from the same song sheet !
I would like to find people in a similiar situation especially in view of this lockdown, where in my view one can also hear the silence !
Feel free to be in touch, if you would like to.
All the best
I know what you mean. I was talking with my nephew yesterday about the effects of covid long term on people's psyche and I realised that I spend a lot more time having conversations with myself than with other people and definitely don't feel as articulate as before. Words do not come as easily and as for names, I don't try to remember anymore so a conversation can be a bit like playing charades.
However , I feel really fortunate that my life hasn't been turned upside down and that life is still good.
How are things with you?

as you ended very abruptly . No matter I assume that you are a man of few words, and ,let your feet do the walking .,Can you give me a clue as to which bit of the moors you liked best ,as it is such a vast area. Did you actually climb the three Peaks ? You obviously do not live near enough to enjoy the Dales on a daily basis . Not a good day for walking today ,it's absolutely siling down.
Don't be tense ,and don't take all your acquired rubbish with you ,there's plenty of that ,no matter where you go .

i was interested to read that you enjoy art, The local art group here is one of the few groups which is currently open (it comes under adult education). I am a beginner but am learning a lot.
The autumn colours look lovely at the moment. Will perhaps get down to the local park today. it looked lovely the last time (as there had been so much rain)
best wishes

Drop me a message if you want to. All the best...Robbie
Oh retirement is great after 45yrs !
Not doing much right now during this difficult time tho. where are you in Scotland?
I know Thurso and various places in Scotland, had many friends there over the years.
How do you keep busy?
I too live alone. I am 64 years old and on the verge of retirement. I have family locally but am finding the whole Covid situation quite difficult. I live in South East England so not too far from yourself. It would be good to find friends to chat to here as sometimes long hours at home can be quite boring. I like getting out walking when the weathers nice but there’s only so much you can do whilst trying to stay safe. I hope you’ve managed to find friends here?
Best Wishes
Justine
Yes I find that too. I like to get out for a walk, i am not a serious walker, but am not far from the sea and so like to walk there.
Otherwise i enjoy music, reading and swimming but alas of course everything is closed!
best wishes
Beatrice (I am female and in my sixties)
I am new to this site but interested to see you are in America. I have been following your Election and would be interested in your views on the current situation. I always feel we are fed News via the media that they want us to hear and prefer to hear the facts from folks at the grass roots.
I am a retired Nurse and live with my husband in Derbyshire, UK. Look forward to hearing your thoughts,
