Pierre is isolated after a long hospital stay: a call a week would help

After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 4 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

          Hope things get better soon, Pierre. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Gondar so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Kharkiv.
