I am very short of internet due to the strikes, the library is closed, so I will just briefly blog my day.

Last night the zip broke on my old backpack, so I was very grateful to the kind person who brought me a backpack yesterday. I went into McD's to exchange my stickers for a free cuppa and transfer my things to the new backpack. While I was in there and wishing I could wash my hair and dopy from painkillers and worrying about the bad weather on the way, I made a rash decision to spend some of my scarce money on a night in the bed and breakfast.

I went to the bed and breakfast and booked in, had a nice shower and went to sleep, I dreamed of police and cells and prisons and beatings, but I wasn't distressed when I woke up.

I enjoyed another shower and then headed to church, where I was helping with coffee, all along the way were people on strike handing out leaflets, this is the biggest strike in recent history, I had a lovely time helping with coffee and then went to the mission, I took the blind man's guide dog for a walk, my Grandad was back and gave me a big hug.

The library is closed due to strike. The weather is ok now, cold.

I am going back to the mission in a minute, sorry I have scarce internet access until the strike ends.
