I would definitely give future learn a go.Its not all business or overly intellectual,I just picked a random course for something I was interested in and then when it finished missed it so much I went back and did another.I,m on about the 12th now.ranges from conservation,Creative writing,journalism,art,psychology,marketing,and subsaharan Africa.I had no idea what direction to go in ,I work but its not interesting. If nothing else I have gained confidence in my ability's,I,m working on a children's book encompassing all the above, to raise money for school gardens in Africa.so the apparent randomness seems to have come together.Its free,as Emz said you get to have online conversations with fellow students,all ages all parts of the world,you don't get a qualification.courses are short average 8 weeks,but you can take as long as you want.If you don't like it you can drop it,so there is nothing to lose.
Apart from that I learned to crochet,again mostly for charity,but bits and pieces for friends and family.
I,m not a joiner either,I tried and failed but there is nothing very interesting to join here anyway,sometimes I help out at the charity shop just sorting when they get really busy,as I can't commit to regular work.I've had to learn practical stuff,basic car mechanics,diy decorating etc,Love being in the garden weather permitting,grow veggies and herbs,and if I want to go for a walk or to a place I don't know on my own I take my camera,often taking random series of shots.I have car radiator grills from a vintage rally,odd bits of architecture from around manchester, motorbike paint jobs. Seems bizare but Having the camera is a really good prop,In Manchester for example I had a couple of hours between trains,I never sit in cafes on NY own,I hate shopping,and hanging round the station wasn't comfortable the camera gave me something to do and made me look and feel like someone with a purpose.
When I get round to moving I,m hoping I will find somewhere there is something to do and maybe more social but for now I,m focussing on being content with my own company,being alone without being lonely.It hasn't been easy but I,m getting much better at it.
