It’s called getting older. I have up belly dancing when I could no longer sink gracefully to the floor sword on head, roll over with sword on head and rise just as gracefully from the floor not losing said sword ??

I'm getting by, I have some savings from my last job at Nottingham Trent University. Realistically what can I spend it on, a holiday in the Maldives, an Alfa Romeo sports car & I don't have a flash lady, like Susie or Jude. John

I manage to get out every day here in Cornwall. Lived here for 46 years so obviously know the best places to walk locally to avoid others. Only time I use the car is for shopping. I do find it difficult to do any work on my hobbies. I get less done than when I was working full time! So easy to say, “Sod it I will start tomorrow.”? Well, I think it's safe to say things have gone a bit pear shaped. How much is anyone's guess. I think all we can do is quarantine. Thank goodness we can keep in touch via the internet. I haven't been out in at least 8 days John

Susie, my Professor in the USA was a model railway enthusiast. Is father was a GP & his parents might "correct" his left-handeness, because most of the medical procedures are designed for right handed people. In his own words: "They created a monster" He became compelled by model railways, a whole room devoted to them. Those were better times. I cannot believe the mess we have got ourselves in, and all because this Doctor wasn't listened too:

Don't know if I've told you this my parents flew out to holiday in Greece, just before then I showed them the film about the Hawaiian airflights accident:
My father said after that she was sh1tting herself. Then she came back & told us about a Greek woman, who'd lost her father & Son. So she said I said talked to her. So I said "You cruel bugger, after all she'd been through to do that to her!" My father & I were laughing ourselves silly! She said: "Hey I didn't like that John Miller!"

Chris, I really don't think your marriage will be in any question, I just wish I'd have found a wife like you have. It's a weird place to find a quote but Dennis Wheatley said: "Only those who love without desire will be given strength in the darkest hour" We've all been going through some tough times recently, I really can't believe how long's its been

Have been since last March down here in Aus. Make rare trips out. Once about every ten days to stock groceries and sort of out of hours times when we know there will be few people about. If we have to visit a shopping centre we restrict ourselves to 20 mins max.Basically we are keeping ourselves to ourselves….and of course its easy on acreage out of town.?

Our house is lowest and sprawling, verandahs right round so in heat or downpours we can walk round. We throw open all doors and windows in the morning to air the whole place before heat hits. ?We can go for a substantial walk without leaving the property but if we want to dawdle up the road it’s all beautiful.?
The scenery constantly changes in different lights. I’ve never been bored to look at it. Lot different to what U grew up with.?
Husband has his tractor to play with if he wants to escape tasks :-)?
