Heya @Amanda111 and welcome to the community from me too. 😊

So what brings you here today? If you need help with anything, please just ask away and we'll all do our best to support you.
Or if you just fancied a light hearted chat, or a few easy games, I'd recommend checking out the coffee lounge and the games den. 😁

I came here which was recommended by my Dr as I have been diagnosed with mild dementia

Sounds like you've got a good selection of hobbies @Amanda111!

You have reminded me about diamond art! I used to enjoy doing a bit of that a couple of years ago. I found it very relaxing😀

What sort of books do you like to read? Have you got any good recommendations?

Amanda111

Diamond art seems to relax me as for reading I read. Anything really

You are making me want to go out and buy another one @Amanda111! I've recently been doing paint by numbers and I find that quite relaxing
