After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 7 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 podcasts, football and cooking, 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Gqeberha.

          Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
