Hi y'all! This is a message to say hi and provide a brief backstory. I'm a long time friend of Walkie, who feels that I might fit in around here (wondering). In a few words; I'm retired, but still do stuff, have done a few jobs but have no profession, am single and have lived alone for 42 years (clue?), love cats and have kept two, enjoy reading about religion and the mystical in its widest sense, live with 16 teddy bears (subject to census), have developed a leaning towards romcoms as my favourite movie genre, drive an old car, enjoy trains - planes - automobiles very much (but hate buses). I like a lot of music, but NOT classical, and have a yen for reading time travel, paranormal, and romantic fiction ebooks in bed. Nearing two years into retirement, and having been forced to do so because of ill health, I am a bit disappointed not to have thrown off health issues and wondering where it all goes next! I have few friends in the locality, but more at some (great) distance. I bloomed very late, largely as I only figured myself out...much too late.
