61 years old, retired and almost without any friends

Are you like me, retired and almost without any friends, but I am back to my old hobby surfing social media and drawing; unfortunately I am not allowed to cook. Cooking is in the hands of Tessie, my sister in law.

I have now rejoined the Neo Catechumenal Way, Zabbar branch, a religious organization I used to belong to and have made a few new friends.

We are encouraged to read the Bible and besides out twice-weekly meetings,sometimes we have meetings at homes of our brothers and sisters and on Saturday we attend mass which we call Eucharist which is slightly longer than the ordinary mass and hymn singing is more frequent. Most of the hymns are Maltese translations of those composed by its founder, the Spaniard Kiko Arguello.

When asked to exchange a sign of peace we hug each other; formerly we used to hug and kiss but because of so many outbreaks of influenza and other contagious diseases this has been discontinued.
