The homeless man

We were on our way to school this morning when we passed a man fast asleep on a bench in a sleeping bag. Zak at first thought it was a tent!! I then explained that it was a man fast asleep because he probably had no home to go to. Zak said "how will he be able to use his computer mummy? He won't have anywhere to plug it in" - does Zak think that is the most important thing? Nothing about having somewhere warm to sleep or food to eat!!!!

On the way back from a toddler group this morning we passed where the man had been sleeping and his sleeping bag and a few possessions were still folded up neatly on the bench. I wanted to leave him something to eat and a hot drink but I didnt. I think I spotted him staggering along the pavement a bit further on with a bag with booze in it. Homeless people seem to get into a vicious cycle of sleeping rough drinking and then repeating the whole process. We don't know why they are homeless, but I'm sure a good meal and a hot drink would do them the world of good, maybe even clear their heads a bit to think how they could improve their situation. Might take a few supplies with me on the school run this afternoon incase he is still there.

Maisey asleep, time for a cupp and a bit of ......loose women!!!!
