I was hoping you weren't him

Re: I guess this is what they call 'homesickness'
I MISS WALKING TOO! Why cant they ever get out and walk anywhere?? My sister said that the US was very strange ( on her last visit) she said "it looks deserted, no ones around and then you realize that they're all just in their cars. lazy b***ds*"
I get homesick too, always will, if OH said tonight we had got a posting to UK or Europe or Siberia I'd be straight out the door before you could say boo to a goose.

I walk all the time and nip into the park for lovely walks too.
HOWEVER, I went to one football (why can they use their hands if it is football?) game in the 70's and NEVER to a baseball game, I refuse. I used to go to all the tennis though. Will go again this year.

Re: I guess this is what they call 'homesickness'
Hello Leslie
Thanks for asking
I'm doing a bit better today. Just tried to ring Mum but she's probably in the garden so left a message, and rung a good friend, so had a natter
Thinking about going to the gym (no excuse, it's on my doorstep at the complex) but motivation is low! Need to push myself really as it does make me feel better, and I need the exercise (too many meals out of late!)
Really looking forward to moving now .. living in this apartment is fine, but 6 weeks of isolation is too much. It'll be nice to know when I talk to someone there is a fair chance I'll see them again - neighbours etc.
Nice of you to ask

He can be an insensitive soul sometimes, but I *think* in this instance, it was genuine!
But you might have a point
