I forgot a few things, at soup kitchen one of the homeless men came and asked how come I wasn't in the shelter any more. I explained to him that I had only been in because I was at high risk of pneumonia and now I was back out. He obviously understood and said something about how I had endured indoors to avoid pneumonia, he shook hands with me and said I should stop and say hi when I see him in town.
I think he sells the Big Issue.
The other refreshing thing was when two of the alcoholics were begging as I went to collect my bags, they turned to beg from me and one of them said 'oh sorry, I know you, see you later' he obviously thinks I am still in the shelter, but after months of harsh aggressive beggars refusing to accept I was homeless in the other town, it is good to be back among a real homeless community again! :)
