Morning Frank. Yes its just like being back in the UK.
Top of the morning to you Jersey.
Glad you said that and not me. I tell my wife off for saying "Look how grey & damp it is, just like London". It's never grey & damp in in England. The sun is always shinning. Lowry made up all those paintings.
Hows NJ?

Your up early, I take it you are a minimal sleep person, like me.
We have friends & family, we telephone them at 10 pm, they are asleep in bed. Wasted life.

I think that fact you go back so often probably doesn't help your homesickness.
I have been here 3 1/2 years, & have been home 3 times now.
Every time I come back, feel very homesick for a few weeks, but that soon passes.
As a few other people have said, there are good days & bad days.
Good luck.

I'm a night owl but not too good in the mornings. Hubby is the opposite but he leaves for work around 7 am.

Could that be the same one that woke me up about 7 am? I usually sleep right through storms but not this morning. Stopped raining here now but the sky has gone grey again.

Morning TruBrit. Yep but I'd never heard that one before. Don't use cockney rhyming slang too much up north.
