Please read it as if you are looking back at my life in 2011 and 2012

sleeping

Hello,
nothing much has happened in life in the last 24 hours.
I have been editing the story of my life from 17-30, and it is a long slow process.
I have been sleeping in my alleyway and getting the leftovers from the takeaway for my supper, I have been to the market to drink tea and listen to the gossip, and I have been to the samaritans a few times.

The weather here has been exceptionally mild and I have been warm at night, but it is about to start raining again.
Halloween was very quiet, I only saw a few teenagers dressed up and not particularly doing anything.

By the way, I have a very warm and comfortable lot of bedding at the moment, I have a sleeping bag and two wool blankets as a matress, a good quality sleeping bag to sleep in, a blanket on top of that, and two shawls for my head and neck and a little pillow and my backpack for my head.
A bit better than the traditional cardboard and blanket, though if my bedding gets wet or stolen I can end up back to the cardboard and blanket.

I tend to sleep well, though I usually wake between 3 and 4am needing the loo, this is because I have essential hot drinks as I wait for bed time in the evening.
I am usually warm and comfortable in the morning, and tempted to doze, but it isn't a good idea to doze when it gets light in case I am found. Generally I sleep as well outside as I would inside and am less distressed outside, but I do have a problem if the weather turns bad, because I have no shelter at the moment.

That girl from the protesters camp came after me yesterday when I went to leave my spare takeaway on the soup kitchen stall for other homeless people to eat. She scares me, I don't know what she wanted.

I am breathing better since I left the camp because I am not breathing in so much smoke.
