I take each day as it comes Lucky. My Mum left us a little nest egg so I’m using that to get out and about and have rekindled some old friendships. I am very fortunate that I have a wide circle of supportive friends who live all over the country so there’s always someone to visit
. My son is doing very well thank you although he doesn’t go out as much as I’d like him to! He works from home so is usually glued to his computer :rotfl: xx
