Housebound and bored

tanith I know that you were looking for a wheelchair- did you find one? Maybe the odd trip to the new cinema which surely has facilities for the disabled?

Perhaps a day centre for a morning? Would give him a change and give you the chance to get out. Perhaps go out for a short drive each day? Does he use a wheelchair? And perhaps arrange visitors. So helpful to have a new person to talk to.
A wheel chair with solid tyres that folds easily might mean you can get further. I used to take my mother BlackBerry picking.

Thanks everyone lots of ideas there some possible some not but at least we can talk them over.

He could become a volunteer with Age UK befriending service. He would be phoning lonely elderly people for a chat. It means so much to people that have nobody to speak to. You can do as much or little as you want to.

Have you got an Alexa? You can play quizzes against each other and stop at a given time. A little treat for the winner would make it fun.
Alexa also can play dramas and tell short stories, which might help.
My GCs listen to mystery stories that let them choose the direction the story goes in. There may be an adult version.

Hope you find something to interest you both.

Great idea MissA
It is very absorbing and takes years - a never-ending story.

How about tracing your family tree?

Rag rug, made of scraps, then you only have to buy the backing.

Jigsaws?
Card games?
Those adult colouring books?
Origami?
That game where you write down the name of a famous person, then stick it on your partner's head without them seeing and then they have to guess who they are?

DH thought he might like to make a rug.
I am keeping it in mind but the kits are quite expensive.

You could try some craft ideas, or painting?
Maybe one of you has an as yet undiscovered talent!

Gransnet?

We need more men
