Could you share an hour a week with Magnus?

Magnus lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Magnus, who's 86. Magnus lives alone in Gothenburg, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Magnus loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. I hope life is good to you.
