“Feeling Lonely? Let’s Chat and Support Each Other”

Just yo let you know we have seen 4 foxes while having a ealk around our area in the ladt hour. They just stop and look at you. No fear from them at all. A bit worrying really S they are a wild animal. It is very residential where we live. But very large park and woods nearby and houses with very large gardens.

Hello Polnan. Hope you can feel more cheerful soon. Have you got your cat with you? Tell us about her/him / name, colour, age, fur!!

Good to hear y`all again, I have had a particulary "lonely " day..

best wishes to you all.

I do wonder if Devine is the brainchild of admin?

Loopyloo - Ginger, Rusty, Freddie, Furry, but it might be a girl? Bella, Francesca? Do tell us!

Oh, and my daughter's dog, a red setter, is called Rua which I understand is Irish for Red.

My great-great nephew's name IS Fox - known as Foxy for short 😂

Loopyloo how nice to see a fox I haven’t seen one in a while . I cannot think of a name idea hopefully others can.
COME ON EVERYONE (Name the fox).

We have Influencers, now we have Encouragers.
Wonderful sunshine here in East London. Saw the fox again yesterday.
Must give him a name.
Ideas please.

Where are you as you created this post and we don’t hear from you. I am sure we would all love to know how your feeling and ask you to join in with chats.

Good morning all especially Taichinan and Polnan. I had a wonderful thought this morning as I sometimes get really fed up with all the rain we have.
On rainy days I get to use my pretty umbrellas as I have a few bought for me over the years. They can all have an outing one at a time.☔️ yeah misery sorted.

Good morning all of you, and especially you Polnan. I hope you feel a little brighter as the day goes on. Truffle that sounded a lovely outing yesterday - I love a cream tea!

Good morning all..

oh thank you for this Truffle43.. just what I need this am. to shake of this feeling of... ok sort of sorry for myself... this encourages me.. I am not and never have been one for lots of friends and now so few,
oh this is a good thread,, more than that, a little community of encouragers forming??

Love the photo taichinan I also love to be outdoors. Yesterday was gorgeous I got out my trusty walker and really enjoyed my walk with little dog with me. I walked to a little cafe sat outside and ordered a cream tea. Oh boy did I enjoy it. I must of put miss piggy to shame it was delicious. It is not something I normally do on my own but hey ho I was in the mood. That walk and little treat had me feeling so good. I felt on top of the world . It is amazing how well you feel after even a small amount of time outdoors and would recommend just getting out of the house to anyone who is able. I am still trying to get out each day and in doing this I chat to lots of different people. This makes me feel better in myself. I hope others can try to get outside just to benefit from the change.

Splendid photo Taichinan!! A hood is good!
Made a lot of chocolate tiffin yesterday for part of a discussion group tea after discussing. The good thing about this (or not) is that I had some at lunch and may have a piece for tea and another at supper. Fatness beckons!

Taichinan ha ha love that photo! that is me too!!! even on holiday. I sit on my balcony, regardless of the weather!!!!

love0c how nice to sit outside for your cuppa. That's one of my favourite things to do, particularly in winter, all wrapped up cosy. The photo was taken last Sunday, a very icy morning!

Good morning everyone, 7.16 am. here in soon to be sunny Swindon... well haven`t heard todays weather forecast so hoping for sunshine.. bit fresh.. I am just out of bed... coffee on,, cat fed... just like to say hello and wish all our friends here a Good morning... my only plan today is to have my feet done! a home visit for me.

this is me learning something new I still like lol!

Indibee Not seen another post at all. I asked the same question a few weeks ago. Never came back. Strange that.

Devine05 - are you still on here? You made a happy thread.

Cabbie21 Lovely you went to see your sister. She would have so appreciated your visit.

Cabbie 21 I am fortunate that I am of an age, yes, quite elderly, and feel easy smiling at people and chatting with them if they respond.. a small Morrisons near to me where I go mostly, so guess most locals and many people will stop and chat a little. of course, not quite the same as having a special friend, I do find people are reluctant to get too friendly, ie meet for a coffee and chat would be so good.

glad to hear you enjoyed your journey ..

Cabbie21 - Have you got a friendly cafe (or possibly pub?) near you where you could get used to having a coffee or tea? If you tried it regularly you might not feel so alone and it would become familiar? People-watching is great or you could take a book, paper or phone to look at. It's very possible to develop a favourite haunt or two so that it doesn't feel lonely but like a friendly place.
I feel it's 'home from home' in 3 or 4 of the cafes in my town and love visiting them on my own as well as with friends. I just sit and relax, think interesting thoughts and watch the world go by.

Thanks Polnan. Yes, I did go out. I went to see my sister who is in a care home. It was a good day for a journey.
