Hi,Cat; Except kids,many old people also like English nowadays... Someone said learning a foreign language can prevent dementia. When I hold an English book at bed, I recognize the words ,don't understand the meaning of sentence and get drowsy easier. But for the" prevent" purpose, I should read after sleep. maybe it can work ...
We don't want to use block option, but sometiomes we have to do that to avoid bothering. This is no choice 's choice. Anyway the other options on here also can help us to learn each other's culture...

My friends all come from our kids age, in other words we are neighbors as well as schoolmates. Know each others family well. Can this called “ acquantances"? but only few of us come closer become good friends. it's a pity we are all females ,cos at that time, we were not used to talk to schoolboys ... Otherwise might be have any male friends after grown up I guess...
I found nothing new in my life even in the fllowing years, my sick cat has been in pet hospital for 10 days, so at the beginning of the new year , he will be back home and I will continue to feed him...
But how about the climate environment in UK? to settle down abroad in an elder age is not easy ...Better she stays with you in both familar place. and you also can visit her country in suitable time later.
