Wanting to have a general chat

Wanting to have a general chat

Hello,

First time poster here. I just was looking for a space online to talk to people online, just to connect.

I have recently moved to live remotely and the summer is setting in. It is so hot and on my days off I feel a little lost, stuck and start to overthinking. And the worst part, I will be here for the Christmas so would love a distraction.

How are you doing in life? Do you live remotely, do you have a hobby online that you can suggest?

I was doing fine a little while ago as I was so busy at work and it was the high season so I had no time to stop. Now I will start to work from home for 2.5 months, to be honest I am not looking forward to it as it is just me running things as everyone else goes on holidays and LWOP, I am the only full timer that stays on at this time. This was supposed to be a move to save money for a house (now the housing market is still ballistic, anyone else in this situation also? Would love to talk about it also).

To make it worse we are about 5.5 hours away from the ocean so I cannot go for a walk on the beach or something. I have lived in the middle of Aus before for over a year and didn't miss the ocean but this time is different. I just liked to watch the waves and feel the sand. Do you resonate with any of this? Are there any other safe chat rooms that you use to chat instantly with people?

Re: Wanting to have a general chat

I would love a chat, no one to chat with on Christmas Eve. Such is life.

Hello @Owen45 , and others visiting this thread,

Hi Owen, Unfortunately, I don't have a bell on my computer to alert me to the arrival of messages, but I do check on "Your Notifications" as I go through the message alerts. I will be aware, in that way, if you reply, and will try to connect with you.

Cheers, @HenryX

Going ok here thanks @Shaz51 and all. Quiet day, pretty hot here at the moment at 42℃, at a little after 2.00 pm, so staying in the cool for now. May go out to tea (light evening meal) with a friend who is here for a couple of days.

Considering how I can use my new found energy in productive ways, initially in the garden. So good prospects of things to come.

Best Wishes to All
