Irish setter owner looking for friends and to learn new skills.

My wife recently passed onto a much better place and hopefully has reconnected with our previous setters but leaving Charlie and me to face this world alone. Luckily I like cooking, but not for one. I am semi retired and only work for a few hours on a few days per week. I am an ostomate and have been so for 10 years. I am also type 2 diabetic mostly due to being overweight. I take pills regularly to combat this. Balding and need glasses to read or for close work.
Reading this profile I'm not such a good catch am I? Personality therfore must be my fortè as I make friends fairly easily and I am always willing to help. I like DIY but a very helpful setter means I have been putting the jobs off. I love driving, walking my dog, meeting people, meals in gardens of country pubs. I want to learn new things, like dancing maybe, a new language, my feminine side - I have found that I quite enjoy doing the housework but find it quite daunting to keep on top of it especially as it seems Charlie must have a party every time I go out. I used to be a happy stay-at-home type but without a soul mate to chat with in the evenings, I need to get out more. You need to like dogs as we both get very excited meeting people. Fancy a coffee and a dog walk? Who knows where this could go?

Look for in a partnerA similar sense of humour to me and desire to enjoy life and together deal with whatever life tries to throw at us. I am not looking for a one night stand but a long term friendship. I want to learn and do things in company. Can we be friends?
On the first dateWhatever you prefer really, a meet somewhere quiet maybe over a meal and/or drink, or just a coffee and maybe a sandwich during a dogwalk together.
