I’m a special boy. If you like that kind of thing.

Thanks for your reply

Moved back to Ireland after 20 years away.

Everyone had moved on. Friends not in the same place as me re family etc. The place/world seems less social now. Couldn’t find a rental in Dublin where I’m from and don’t already own. Couldn’t get a mortgagae despite decent salary. Couldn’t get kid in loczl school where we settled.

Overall, just miss being an expat, so off I go early next year after 2 years back Not for everyone but I miss the little and “weird” communities I’ve had over the years and being somewhat "special’ in the “host” country.
