I've been falling around the place laughing for the last five minutes just having read that last post, Blokey
M, I'm really sorry you're all going through this.
It's an absolute nightmare.
I'm trying desparately to imagine how I'd feel if I was going through this
Sad, angry, scared, frustrated..lots of things.
I hope to God things start to improve somehow.
I've not really turned on the computer the last few days as it's too much of a distraction and gets me thinking about things I've no control over and I have enough of those to contend with already so I chose to ignore the big black box....
Went christmas shopping on sunday with dh and G.
Lovely lights, very festive, went to look at exhibition at RHA which dh is in {shows off }
and on every corner there was a homeless man or woman
it was freezing, really, truly bitterly cold and these people were sitting with nothing but thin jackets/jumpers, staring at us lucky feckers with our hats, coats, gloves, warm homes, money, family as we rushed by, no time to stop, to make eye contact, to acknowledge their exsistence, offer something, anything.
I need to do something to help, join a group or make a monthly donation to a hostel, I feel sickened and haunted and angry.
Sorry for that, but how the hell is it that in the year 2008 we have people with no home, a basic human right, sitting and lying in gutters.
