Virtual Circle of Friends

[MillyMollyMandy78]

On my last post about a lack of friends, so many of you reached out with your own stories/ support/ advice. Several of you also said it would be great if we had our own thread where we can just meet up and have a chat and be virtual friends.
I apologise about the boring thread name - I couldn't think of anything cleverer! So this is me reaching out... Who wants to join me & be my virtual friend? X

Comin - Moon River in Breakfast at Tiffany's makes me cry too! I wish I had a dog to soak up the tears.

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing ok today. I'm working from home in my pyjamas, as per. No wonder I never get anything done!

seabright Am utterly jealous... You mean to tell me you have seen the sun? The round, yellow thing that resides somewhere up in the sky and radiates warmth to those below? I thought that was only a myth....

Walk went well, I think anyhow. No strained conversation, had a coffee. To be honest, felt a bit odd as I am used to walking on my own and getting coffee on my own. But odd as opposed to weird which is good. Am happy to be back home again now though, its not very easy in your 40's to just be able to join in and make friends. Found it far easier when I was younger. But, we have said to do it again next Friday, weather permitting so it can not have gone badly.

comingthroughthewry so sorry to hear about Oldgentlelab....

Plans for rest of my day are thus: Ignore all cleaning up that needs doing, pretend I have no work to be getting on with and my inbox is clear, fill up hot water bottle, go sit on couch under a blanket and finish reading my book. I have some Drumstick Lollies and I am not afraid to eat them!

Afternoon people or VF's now that I've joined the group I'm a tad lost for words

I do spot a Game of Thrones fan, or at least I hope I spot one! Is anyone else excited about the prospect of the new season?

neri which season are you talking? I am far behind with the TV series (have seen two). I have read six books (I think?) but am going to stop now, they just lost their power after the first three. Is it worth persevering with the TV version?

PopeBenedictsP45 the 3rd season is due to be aired in the UK on April 1st, I am really excited, I've read all of the books right up to A DANCE WITH DRAGONS: AFTER THE FEAST and are waiting for the last 2 books to be written and released. You need to persevere with the books, they drop off a bit as he fills in a few back stories then they pick up again and there a few surprises as well

Aha, I'm not so behind after all!

I'm reading Dance With Dragons and am finding it's really dragging and I have just about lost interest - which means I'm not keeping up with the characters. And there's not enough Arya in there!

apparently he took a few of the chapters about the main characters out of the last couple of books and stuck them in the Winds of Winter instead (I'm showing my inner geek here ) if you have a hunt about on some of the forums and check out George RR Martins website you will find exerts from the moved chapters, Theon Greyjoy was one of the characters to have chapters about him moved...

OK, I will get my geek on and have a look around. Thanks!

Hello neriberi
Very big fan of GOT (both books & series)...so am obviously very glad it's March

I'm looking forward to John Snow running around at the wall! I'm off home so have a good weekend all!

Likewise
Have a goodun!

Just seen this thread, And I wanted to say that the title of 'virtual circle of friends', says it all. I do not often post, but, as has said by others, in RL, not having many friends, coming on here and being part of this community, means a lot. Thank you, everyone.

Please may I join too?

Welcome, Shadowland & CremeEggThief, and anyone else that sneaked on here while i was at work! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, and maybe I'll see some of u on here too!

Hello everyone. Bad day today felt so lonely and down but tomorrow is another day and hopefully a good one

Hi, I met a mner today in rl, can't actually remember her mn name but she's lovely and were meeting again next week. :)

Just laying with dd23 mths then me and dh going out for dinner, we're lucky to have a great restaurant literally 5 mins away that so fab food. Can't wait I'm starving. I made a chocolate and banana cake this afternoon, cut into it and it's not cooked in the middle < sobs>

Can anyOne recommend a good box set for me and ds (15) to watch. We've just finished the Mentalist so something like that, crime. Not CEO though.

What's everyone's plans for the weekend then?

Csi even

lia66 how about Bones, Criminal Minds, Person of Interest, The Closer, Murdoch Mysteries? I enjoy The Mentalist and love these too!

I'd second the suggestion of bones

And hope you have a better day tomorrow debstar , may it just be a fluke bad day!

My DS has been sleeping really badly so I've been felt a little confused all day!

The odd day does go by when I don't speak to an adult (other than till workers, leccy company etc)! Nice to talk a little on here when I'm having one of those days

And good luck in that case deb!
