Has your husband had any blood tests recently? There might be a medical reason for being down - pernicious anaemia for one. Just a thought.

Do you have any museums in your area, my brother volunteered at one, and it almost became a full-time job he enjoyed it so much.

Do they have a man’s shed in your town we have one here and it’s so good for bored guys they get together weekly and make things needed and usually for charity

Or could he research his own family history?A link with previous family members is very uplifting.

Would he consider a history group - WW2 for instance

But I think he may have to figure it out for himself?

It took about 18 months for my DH to get so bored that he came up with some answers.
In a nutshell, he went back to work. Self employed, so he could come and go easier.
