geekesse, I understand that, completely. I dread the knocks on the door, to see if I am allright, gosh I am the active one here, just different in mid winter when I hibernate and love my own company. All that stuff on certain channels about calling on an older person, yes grhhh I know it is meant kindly but I am old school with a good storecupboard and have survived many bad winters. It is not a novelty for someone like me, just a different season, hibernating, knitting, cooked meals, tv. Tbh it is a blissful time and I don`t want to answer the door
