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.

Wishing you the best, Budi. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Get well soon. Sent it to 9 people at work. Take care
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Santa Fe so I could bring a meal. God bless!
Best of luck, Budi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Wishing Budi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
