After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 10 weeks. My family live far away, and the days can feel very long. I'm not looking for therapy - I've that covered - but for conversation.
I'm hoping for someone who can call for about 30 minutes once a week whenever suits us both. I like film, travel stories and poetry, and can listen to anything.
This can be from anywhere in the world as long as you speak English. We can arrange the calls through the platform, with email shared only when we're both comfortable.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Take care, Harold. Wishing Harold a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
