It's warm of an evening in the city, which makes walking pleasant from my point of view - though I think Noi has her reservations about over-doing it. It's also refreshing to walk around without coming across too many folk who are obviously struggling. Hope this is a sign that most of those at the bottom are being provided for, one way or another. Across three evenings we've probably walked by around ten people who looked like they didn't have anywhere to go and might well be spreading themselves out on or around the pavement. None of these looked particularly vulnerable, and one can only hope that looks weren't deceptive.
Mind you, there were small children involved in three cases with the young women looking after them seeming to be surrounded by and guarding their few possessions. But the kids looked well cared for. Somehow this didn't seem as desperate as it perhaps should have done.
