great weekend, so far.

Well, i still have a squatter (G)out the front, he is really nice. G has completely cleaned up the front area, cut back the vines so that they are not just fully over grown and swept, one of G's friends helped him and they are going to fix the fence as well. G has also offered to fix the puncher in my bike tire. I had a great chat with him today, he told me that he has had in interview for a 3 month lease in one of the Westcare houses and is just waiting to hear.... so pray that he gets it, cause he doesn't want to stay on the street.
Last night i went to the soup run, yet again, and got to catch up with a couple of the guys that i know, and then the first person after that i went to talk with, we got talking about what i do, and about Gen1, and he said that he was interested in coming... so i gave him a card, and invited him, he is planning on coming.
Today after i had a chat with G, i went down to ACH (Adelaide Congress Hall) to try and catch up with some other street friends. ACH put on a lunch for street guys and people not to well off, once every 3 or 4 months, and today was that day. So i got there early and sat around chatting with some of the guys, before the doors were opened... Once they were opened and everyone had sat down, i went around to the guys that i knew chating up with them and seeing how they were going... I sat down with one of the guys and had a meal... coudos to the cooks, it was awesome.... chicken, baked potatoes and punkin, with boiled peas, corn and carrot. Apple pie with custard and icecream for dessert. We were served by people from the Corps, which included some of the youth, and then they came and joined a table to eat and chat with people.
It was a great time of meeting people and getting to know people and seeing these guys fully enjoy the community.
Walking down the street (well actually in Target), i saw another friend... this one i didn't expect to see wandering the shops of adelaide, as the last time i heard about her, she was in Canada as an officer, so i got to catch up with her as well, she's on furlough and visiting relatives.
Now i am off home (i am sitting in the mall), after spending the day wandering the city.
