Dunno...think most were out at work all day. I used to go to the gym or pool during the day...I was all on my lonesome ownsome.

I did see people driving through the underground car park.

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

You're welcome. BE is a great place to come for some cyber company. I'm not ashamed to say that I have made some very real friends on this site and tons of what I would call "pals" or "acquaintances". It's been a life saver many times for me.

I hated to think of you lonely and sad in your new place. I go through that every time I move .... and I've only ever lived within the states (I'm American).

Just remember that it is sometimes difficult for Brits to make new friends in the US. Are you going to be attending school or looking for work any time soon?
