Which TJ's do you go to? I go to the one in Chapel Hill. I know when to visit when it's not overrun with students or particularly busy.

It is a good store. Better than Whole Paycheck (Whole Foods) IMO.

I've heard of it, but in the almost 7yrs we've been here, we've never been.. at least not yet. What sort of food do you go there for?

Hmm about the pm. Did you check your email? I might have sent it as a email

Are you moving to NC permanently? Whereabout near Greensboro will you be?

I'm in Durham, in the Triangle, about an hour and fifteen minutes drive from Greensboro.

Yes, the humidity is pretty oppressive. That's why you don't see many people outside in the summer months. The way to deal with NC summers is to drink lots of fluids, where sunscreen and headgear (if you're outside for more than 15 minutes).

Oh oh oh I am..

the weather at the moment is weird, as we've been having quite a lot of rain for this time of the year and then its been getting really hot as well so yes humidity is here..

but its not as bad as Florida thats for sure..

I lived their from April 1998 until September 2000 before I moved to the Triangle. Greensboro's downtown night life has really improved since then. As to humidity I decided I would never complain about it again once I visited my wife's relatives in Clearwater, FL.

no not permanantly, not sure just going for a visit for few months to see and then will decide. I will be back in cyprus in December. I moved from the UK 14 yrs ago and moved to Cyprus. Was in the UK at Christmas visiting my brother.
Well would be great to meet British folk there. Maybe w could all exchange emails to keep in touch.
