    Thank you everyone for your warm welcome.  There must be a way of replying individually but I haven't worked it out yet.  Ami2301 yes I have hobbies, but I get restless, lose focus and concentration, and the walls close in on me.  It's not so bad in the Winter, the weather change in Spring, with blue skies and warm sunshine, increases feelings of isolation.  The World is out there and here I sit, outside looking in, weirdly!

    Hello @Dawns61 Please can I thank you for replying.

    Please if you want to answer to some one individually like I am doing with you.

    Use the @icon press shift on your keyboard plus same time the icon @.

    I know this will help you. Then add the members name.

    Like mine @thespiceman.

    I have issues with what they call IT this is what it is called. Information Technology.

    You a smart intelligent lady , I am a gentleman but do like yourself have some problems.

    Of a certain age.   A gentleman never asks a lady her age. Struggle with confusion and get muddled.

    What will help you is look at our community guide and house rules if that helps . Please have a look.

    Understand some of the difficulties first time here.

    Please ask if we can help anytime.

    Please keep in touch.

    Take care.

    I did @Dawns61 sorry for the delay in replying, I was at the dentist. I know what you mean, I am currently waiting for the garden to be adapted so I can go in the garden during the warmer weather.
