Hi,
nowadays we cannot be too choosy when finding somewhere to live. If you get on well with your father that can be a good thing and he probably enjoys having company. The whole housing and cost of living stuff is such a mess especially when you live on a pension mostly.
I enjoy my own space for two, got divorced over twenty years ago and except for dad days with my now 24 year old son learned that liking my own space was possibly one of the things that stressed my marriage, so i stayed single.
Did some bus driving yesterday for the local senior citizens club where i spend some time, it is nice to help out occasionally. Have you ever done volunteer work or does your work keep you too tied up?
Cheers

Hello there and good evening everyone
Thank you @Ru-bee for introducing me to the group.
I've never participated in an online forum in this area. I am glad to have signed up now and I will post a little about myself soon.
I'll also try and give support where I can to other members in discussions.

Hi all,
Thanks for the welcome.
Had a very tough weekend.
Got a lot of sleep, at least - I know my body has been craving that for years.
Faking it through work day today as the cycle goes on.
Hope everyone is doing OK.

I'm glad that you got that well needed rest in an otherwise tough weekend.
Do you have anything planned this week that may pause that cycle? Perhaps something you're looking forward to, or something a bit out of the usual routine?
