    @Cher_Scope Hiya, yeah i am okay. I live in wonderful area, there are lot of beautiful landscapes and forests so it is very safe around here for me, also in town there are charities that give free meals and drinks everyday, breakfasts and dinners so i am pretty good here, i also stay a lot in my mates houses, it depends really i don't sleep in one place, i have got variety... I am also very concerned about my own well being, i care about my diet, hygiene and health, i exercise a lot so i am doing fine, maybe it will be necessary to find somekind of accommodation during late autumn/early winter, but for now summer is very good :)

    Ha Mike  :D  Made me laugh there!

    @monsieur How are things going with you?  I'm just checking in to see if you still feel safe and happy with your current situation.  Please let us know if there's anything we might be able to help with.  I imagine this hot weather is both lovely to be outside in, while a bit tiring and too much at times?

    Hey
    Oh yeah, i am okay :). I have had great weekend, i went for bikecycle ride twice with my mate to Coventry, so i have done about 60 miles within two days. I agree it is hot, but it's not too bad actually. I am waiting for a colder weather though...

    Glad to hear you are doing well @monsieur

    Sounds like the weekend was very productive, that's a very long bike ride :)

    Yeah, well... Usually my mates offer me to stay at theirs, but i usually say no i am coming back camping, because i generally like to be on my own... Sharing house with others can be painful, especially when roommates smoke a lot or they do not clean after themselves... Or when toilet's taken and u have to wait... sometimes i want to be alone without anyone around me, houses are expensive i cannot afford to live alone in a flat or house... When i went to Poland 2 years ago, my nan gave me keys to refurbished flat and i lived there myself for nearly 9 months, so i quite got used to it at the time... But it is not perfect cuz usually there are roads and bloody loud cars everywhere, staying outdoors offer me much more quietness, peace and i can also relax while listening to birds singing, instead of being in some house with dusty carpets where i hear cars driving all the time from early morning till late evening... I also feel it is a kind of wrong to come to foreign country and ask people for help because i can't manage... No... i am doing okay, i can take care of myself. And my friends help me too. Few months ago one charity told me that p3 probably would be able to offer me room in hotel, but that would be responsibilities, having to come back at 10:30pm everyday... No thanks!! I really like nature and staying outdoors is healthier than in the house. Sorry for my broken english. Have a nice day :)
