hi there nice to hear from you and hope the weather is good for your walks. here it's been raining almost everyday with high winds though not cold. i still go for walks each day despite not having my little dog who died two months ago. i do miss her as she was about 15 years old and i'd had her for 10 years. she was a stray dog that i took in when living in italy and brought her back when i returned to scotland five years ago. i still do my walks along the beach which i enjoy and think it's important to get out and get some exercise. the tv is tiresome and i spend some time watching gardening and repeats of poirot and miss marple (only joan hickson) but i make sure i ration it out or there's a danger of just sitting staring at a lot of rubbish. i have a kindle and do read quite a lot though i have the beginnings of a cataract which makes it a bit difficult but i can still see enough to read. oh the joys of getting old!!!i'm thinking of going away for a short break october/november but at the moment not sure where somewhere with a bit of sunshine perhaps. do you go on holidays? how long have you lived in sussex? look forward to hearing from you, best wishes sheila

just joined today 80 years old live in ayrshire scotland for the time being never lived anywhere longer than 10 years so might move depending on health but for the moment enjoying the chance to walk on the beach each day despite the weather. i live alone have adult children but not much contact as they live far away and seem to have forgotten they still have a mother!! i don't have any relatives left nor close friends but am not lonely. i do enjoy a chat though so looking forward to hearing from someone online. forgot to say i am female and have worked as a lecturer and finally health visitor. best wishes

I am also 81 female. Live in West Sussex
My family are all living at a distance so only occasional contact. Walk my dogs each day
But have mobility problems so limited walking time.
Was an admin assistant to county council
Do have car now so just drive locally.
