"Just a bit colder."

"Just a bit colder."

It was just a bit colder today, and grey, like it wanted to rain constantly. But it stayed dry the whole day. There is not much news to anounce today, work went fine and well. My Boss is on a short vacation I noticed, cause I didn't see her as much as other times. Usually she walks trough the factory a few times a day. I need a little talk with her cause of my trip to London, I need two days off. My vacation ends on the 2th of January, but I will still be in London then. I will return from London on the 3th of January, I will be pretty exhausted then aswell, so I could use a day or two off. Hopefully she will give the two days off. Or perhaps one. 

It's nice comming home from work, so much better then Humanitas. After work I want to relax and have a little time on my own, it feels comfy and I look forward to it.  I think everyone wants that and has that feeling. Comming home and feel comfy when you relax or you come home to your Family, nice feeling. Tonight there was the 'free'dinner again like every Monday night.' There are two places  where there is a free dinner, on Monday at 5:30 I go to the 'Wonne.' that's a place where homeless people can live for a while, it's just like Humanitas. And then there is the 'Banier,' that's a place where they hold prayings, meetings and dinner's. Everyone with a low income can join the free dinners on Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

I have known this old guy on the picture for a while now, his name is Gerrit, he's 77 years old and has been living on the street since 2005. He's a nice guy but aswell stubborn and has a will of his own. He's always around with the free dinners on Wednesday and Thursday, since a few weeks he has a little room at Humanitas. You will always see him when you hit the streets in the city, he and his scootmobile.

Usually it's the homeless people who join those dinners, aswell old residents of Humanitas and the Wonne. Now there is a difference between homeless people and homeless people, there are homeless people who live at Humanitas but there are aswell homeless people who live 24 hours a day on the street. These street homeless people can be rude and loud while having the free dinners, it seems they just don't care, blame the alchohol aswell. That's why it's not always fun being at the free dinners. It's been quiet the last few months with the dinners cause there was one old homeless guy sitting in jail, this guy was always drunk with his buddies and always loud. Not that fun having him around. His buddies were acting quit normal when 'he' was in jail.


Two weeks ago 'he' came free from jail and joined the free dinners again, and what a entrance he made, "I'm back!" he yelled with a drunken voice. I often think to just skip the free dinners, but I keep comming back, cause I like to see my old Humanitas buddies and sometimes the atmosphere is really nice, and it saves money. Just that sometimes I don't feel that save with those homeless drunk people around while having dinner, maybe I overreact, I don't know. Maybe it's just time to search or join other 'normal' people. Just like I have 'normal'people around me now with my new job. Having such 'normal' people around me feels sometimes like a bless. Akward thought though. Sometimes I think it's good to haven known such homeless people.
