How do you spend time when you get old and less mobile?
Some of the activities you were used to including going out, may be difficult. So how do you pass your time?
Here are some idle thoughts-
Read. You can re-read books that you may have read long before. Including favourite authors. The newspaper delivers something new every day, and keeps you abreast of what is happening.
Talk to people- on phone, or in person. They may be your friends, family or whoever. Once in a day or two. Make a video call on Meet, or Zoom with your kids if they live elsewhere.
Listen to the radio. It's great for listening to any songs you like. Or buy a Carvaan type device with a lot of stored songs.
Walk around, either in your housing society garden, or any other suitable space where it is safe.
TV? I would not recommend it. Maybe watch a movie on Youtube or an OTT channel. That is usually more satisfying.
If you are actually mobile, you have more options, like volunteering, guest lecturing or other ways to occupy yourself.
