Hi Kate, although I have been a member here for some time, now this is the first time I have commented on the Forum.
Because I have been stopped from playing golf, because of you know what, I have plenty of time on my hands . I enjoy gardening and have an allotment.
I enjoy reading also, (150+ books on my iPad), mostly thrillers, but I am now on my second attempt at reading Bleake House by Charles Dickens. I find it hard going, such long sentences. Will I finish it ???.
We are just finishing another week of glorious sunshine here, but I am sure you are used to that in Cyprus. I have Travelled many parts of the world but not your island.
Keep up the chatting.

Hi ... This has stopped us all in our tracks sadly, hopefully it won't be too long before we get back to normal, whatever normal is
I'm getting through books like there's no tomorrow, but I love reading, so that's OK... I've just had to order a load more...
I'm very limited in what I can do... I don't live in Cyprus so I'm guessing you have replied to the wrong person... Its easy done and I'm still trying to find my way around here

Take care

Hi Kate,
I’m Bruce from Upstate New York. Happily married also with grandchildren keeping us hopping. Newly retired. Wife, younger, still working. Both of us in the Healthcare field. Reading a lot. Mostly Nordic thrillers. Also UK and surrounding countries detective stories. Also cycling and trying to stay healthy with this ‘stay at home protocol. Had snow last weekend. 70 degrees today. Love to hear from others outside of USA. So much to see and learn.
Response from Larger made on 19th May 2020 20:24:42 > @Bruce9999
Hello Bruce, always happy to hear from someone from across the pond. Well your 70 degrees has landed over here and being a person that loves gardening I am praying for rain.(Hopefully coming on Friday). I have been to the States a number of times, my brother lives in Lubbock,Texas, Been to Las Vegas 3 times and each time it was different. We did travel around the New England states in the year of the Atlanta Olympics. What an area to be in in the Fall.
We are now into our 8th week of lock down, but things are easing, I am going to play golf Thursday, Yippee. My wife and I have been walking twice a week and working on our allotment, (vegetable garden) It gets us outside. I managed to finish reading Bleak House by Charles Dickens and now reading a Jeffery Archer thriller. I can recommend his books to you.
I have to call on Amazon for more books, I like to read historical mystery books, learned about the Great London Fire and Plague of the 1660s, it was worse than Covid19, (Caught it on Sunday-Dead on Monday). I'll leave you with that thought. Nice to hear from you.
Response from Bruce9999 made on 11th Jun 2020 11:52:15
Hi Larger,
Things are lifting over here in upstate New York. Getting out and about a nice change. Have not read Jeffrey archer books yet, as I have been reading Icelandic mysteries as of late. I have also enjoyed Peter May and his black house trilogy based in Scotland. We have never been to Europe and hope to do so in the near future. From reading so many books from Norway, Iceland, Scotland and other interesting areas, it is hard to pin down exactly where to go first New England is where we spend a lot of our time, especially the Maine coast and up into nova Scotia. Stay well and enjoy books

Hi Kate53,
I think that we have all been there at one time or another, well no need to be lonely any more.
I am now in my seventies and have been on my own for the last six years. Whatever you want to talk about, you can talk to me I am a very good listener. If you want to talk by email, that is fine by me.
Hope you get back to me soon.
Applejack.

Hi, if you are still looking for people to chat with, I would like to be one of those people. I’m 66, married, 5 grown up children, 14 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren, with another great-grandson due in the early part of May. I have many interests, also just retired, which is not going well due to timing and the pandemic. Anyway if you fancy chatting, please drop me a line, I love to chat

Hello SugieC
I am new to Silverline and am just looking around the site, discovering people and seeing what’s happening.
My husband died in 2017 and like you I am now starting to see what’s out there.
Taken me a while but I am enjoying the experience even thought currently it’s somewhat limited ☺️

Hello Caroleharper2. I'm in the same position. I lost my husband 18 months ago . I am finding it hard to cope. My daughter is lovely but I keep finding things that he would have done. I'm not sure you want to hear from me for a conversation but its OK if you dont

Hello Jamie44
It’s always good to chat so don’t be lonely, I am sure that there are lots of people out there feeling similar at the strange time in our lives.
Please get in touch if you want to chat, but not today as I am currently painting skirting boards and moving furniture around the room. Sounds really exciting doesn’t it?

Greetings;

I'm Kris, My life has been weird for the past 20 years. I've been ok through most of it, but I'm having a hard time dealing right now!

I'm single, kinda wish there was another pea rambling around here, although I do need my alone time, I miss the conversations, sharing, hugs, and some kisses thrown in here & there for good measure.

I live in New Mexico, US, this has been some interesting reading, Scotland, England etc. My ancestors are from Scotland, Wales, maybe England.

This has helped make the evening nicer, glad I stumbled onto here.
