After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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 history, chess and quiz shows, 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.

Thanks for sharing this, Wayne. This could happen to any of us.
Thinking of you, Wayne. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Prayagraj so I could bring a meal. All the best.
stay strong, Wayne. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Bristol so I could bring a meal. All the best
