Thanks Neal, no l'm not cut out for it either mate - got here a couple of hours ago and l'm now remembering how much it screws up one's body clock. Wish l could afford to upgrade but cattle class it is for me. Usually takes me 2 days this end to fully recover and less on the way back.
Unfortunately the family aren't great bud, my mum, who's very independent and active, had a major stroke back in the beginning of August and is in need of fully assisted care now, as she's in a wheelchair permanently with mobility and speech issues. The hardest part has been the fact that my mum can't speak to me on the phone or even send a simple message anymore. Heart breaking to say that this will probably be the last time l see her as she's 90 years old.
Thanks for reaching out tho
