Loneliness in self-isolation

Luckily nowadays we have technology to keep us company, TV, computer, phone you can always interact virtually with others. Definitely I'll have time to sort cupboards and wardrobes!

The two last classes of a course I am doing have been cancelled, but I still have the essay to write. That will keep me busy for a week. Then when I went to what was my last Tai Chi class today I asked the tutor for a recommendation of a YouTube or DVD to use and he promptly offered me his own, which is excellent because it will be his exercises in his way, so that is to be mastered, I will also look for a Pilates DVD to do similarly - then there is a great pile of books, a huge veg garden at the start of the season, a major family history project, several sewing and decorating projects.

Technologically, I am finally joining FaceBook and we are setting up Skype.

I'm just starting a course with FutureLearn www.futurelearn.com/
Food Science and Nutrition: From the Farm to You.
Lots of free courses on all sorts of subjects.

Future Learn is great. Yesterday I accessed a course on Shakespeare and his times which I’d half done a few years ago.
To my surprise I read a play I’d always avoided, Othello.

Glenda Jackson, asked recommend good reads mentioned War and Peace. I've had Les Miserables in my TBR stock since a grandson gave it to me at Christmas 2018. He’d assumed me I’d enjoy it. Now I’ve an opportunity to read it!

I’m also cleaning cupboards, slowly, one at a time, and sorting what I can only describe as a LOT of bits of paper, even more slowly ....

Myself isolation I haven't started yet I still meet friends, we all have mental health problems, we are frightened of them worsening, so we have each others mobile numbers, and mind were we all go said we can ring any time
