I do like my own company, im not very sociable so dont need alot of friends. I do however love old people, they tell the most amazing stories of life gone by, the war, fashion, alsorts. I use to clean for a old lady many years ago for abit extra money. Tbh I think she was lonely and just wanted the company, she was so funny the things she use to tell me. She always had the fire on even in the summer, her fire place has alot of silver and brass that needed cleaning so I use to sit infront of her to clean them and she would chat away telling me alsorts of stuff. I have a long list of stuff I want to do when i retire and one is befriend a old lonely person. There is a charity called silverlining where you can volunteer either by writing to someone once a week, or phoning or go visit. This is something I would enjoy but working fulltime and still doing up our home time is short. I do feel im wasting valuable time working as there are many ways I could help and would want to help if only I had the time. Interesting topic.
