New arrival

Hi I am a newbie to the forum and I am just finding my way around so forgive my mistakes if I make any.


I live in the large community of Basildon but my area which I seldom stray out of is Barstable although apart from the rare signage we are borderline Pitsea or Vange. Has Steelers Wheel once sung we are stuck in the middle.


I will chat about mostly anything and I once loved music/football/movies/ I used to do a fair bit of woodwork/walking locally, but since I caught Covid in May or June and had a few visits to the local hospital I seemed to have lost interest in nearly everything I was loved apart from my family.


So now I am trying to rebuild those interests and thought what better way than to join a forum.


I know I am not one for the likes of Twitter/Facebook and all those that can get very personal, but I do remember liking forums so here I am.

Hello, Dave and welcome, We spend a lot of time in Pitsea, where my wife's aunt lives the Dartford crossing is an absolute joy

Hi John sorry for the late reply but keeping my focus is still really hard and I find I jump from one thing to the next and forget easy. I do tend to worry sometimes whether it is just my age 69 that is the cause but then again I do remember before Covid so I am guessing it was that that is causing this along with other stuff.
The Dartford crossing mention I found amusing. 🙂
Trying to adjust to the forums many sections is quite hard at present and I know I am not helping myself by swanning off for months at a time. So I will try to keep it in my mind to visit daily and hope I can grasp some of it.
Hope you are both keeping in good health and perhaps one day in the summer we can arrange a meet up say at Pitsea market.
At present because of the cold weather winter times I tend to stay indoors because of my emphysema in the summer my breathing improves so that is when I venture out most days to the park and the market.
Dave
