Where do women go? The sewing room or the equivalent thereof?

This woman goes to her local patchwork and quilting group. Lovely bunch of ladies.

and so does this woman - often more chatting is done than sewing orknitting or patchwork though! Just as therapeutic.

Thanks Vic for this. Howard and myself will be travelling around the country soon, speaking and promoting bowel cancer awareness, the mens sheds, would be great to pop into and share bowel cancer awareness etc. When I have a more detailed plan, I will contact some of them, ,

I have found Sing Australia to be quite a good venue for friendship. I joined in Cairns and really felt like part of the family. I am now a member at Gawler, and although the singing is a great way to release crappy feelings, the link is not as strong. Singing is my way of getting my breathing in good order and condition while I sing great lyrics to make me feel strong. We all have something we use to get through. When I couldn't get around much I spent my time writing or embroidering. Any distraction is a good distraction.

Good on you Lynette, I hope it all goes well, would be well received!
Lions Clubs or similar organisations could be a good place to approach as well.
I have put this under health as it is associated with Beyond Blue and those struggling with life in one way or the other.
Anyone can read the information etc without joining a shed or the website so good for both men and women to read, see;
