Day 9 of rough sleeping.
Did a few days in Cambridge at the beginning of last week, church grounds on the high road were bastard noisy.
Back in Kings Cross now. Found a corner away from the drunks and smackheads, and drunk smackheads.
Given I go to the day centre, have a shower, do laundry, and get something to eat, I'm not sure I'm cut out for homelessness. And sleeping on concrete is really bad for your back. Who knew?

Maybe see you at King's Cross tomorrow
Edit: I'll look out for you

Can the day centre not help?
At least with a hostel maybe?

They might help him
I doubt they'd help me

Streetlink made me an appointment with the hostel for Friday morning.
Apparently the 'no second night on the street' scheme means no 12th night.

Comfier than concrete

Blimey, Muzletov !
I’m good, just going through a Melenual Life Crisis, but really positive I can get things going. Likely will be retaining in something to do with mental health; don’t know exactly, nothing overly academic, maybe an apprenticeship in the upcoming Feb term if I can.

That or o genuinely want to do something with the medical cannabis industry.
Accidently became a craft-beer-bore with weed. But seriously, Monty was right about that stuff.

Didn't you work with websites?

Yup, I want to transfer those skills elsewhere though.
Had a run of some really awful bosses (Tech Bros and all that; racist/sexist bastards, they ended up in courts) for a few years, then covid hit, and I realised I still love coding but don’t want it as a career anymore… so whilst the CV has these gaps, it’s the perfect time to move on.

Lockdown was a bugger
I left medical practice for a few years, bought a pub and was enjoying it but Covid hit and the hospitality industry died. Shame but Wetherspoons gave me a good price, but I loathe the chain.

That’s pretty impressive, fuck Brexit aye.
I’d love to start a canna pub for patients to learn all the different devices, strains, clinics, and general socialising. They’re a few in the uk but no legal ones by me (I don’t think I’m London). I must have wasted £1000s learning how to consume properly. Wouldn’t do it for the money, but the ROI should be good by picking up commissions.

Do they not do night shelters?
Hope you manage to find some accomodation soon. They need to make it easier for people to get back on their feet :(

What have the councils said?

But even then they'd insist on him having a local connection before admitting they had a responsibility.

Damn dude, really hate to hear that.
Maybe there is a way of picking up a few Bob by getting a bike somewhere & doing one of the food delivery places? Hope you find your feet soon.

WhatsApp me mate, all I can do is lend an ear atm, but it’s better than nothing =)
