well the good news is that my money came through today, I was happy with that, I went to see the man in the market and he is prepared to fix my little laptop for a low price so that means I will be able to get internet over Christmas when everything is closed. I will get my little laptop back later today, isn't it amazing that in Hometown it would have cost hundreds of pounds and taken weeks, here it is done in a day at a special price. The man was amazed that I have been living the life I live and that I carry a little laptop at all, though it hasn't worked for months and has been in storage in London most of that time.

I hate to be so materialistic, but money brings instant relief, I put my heavy backpack and jackets in a locker and that made life much more comfortable at once. All I need for a locker in the library is a pound coin, and that means I am not carrying weight or getting too hot.

one of my church friends who works nearby phoned me and arranged to meet for a walk round the park, we had a nice walk and chat.
Now it is time for me to write an apologetic letter to the people at the mission, it isn't all their fault that I can't cope with things.
