Hi again Macd, you mention that you're retired and staying occupied is part of the problem.
Can I turn this on it's head? You are 60 (relatively young), you have reasonably good health, you had a good career (and skills that will come from that). and you are time rich... You have so much to offer society. There will be volunteering organisations crying out for your time, skills and energy. Perhaps this can be something connected to your past career, or perhaps you would prefer to try something new.
You have options, lots of them, you have the potential to have a very fulfilling second half of life.
