I went to work with dad today.Glad I was with my dad, as we got to the door of the shop to find a homeless person curled up on the doorway. He wouldn’t move so dad had to lean over hime in order to unlock the door and then we strategically manoeuvred ourselves around and over him in order to get in. At opening time, he was still there so after a colleague range the police 30 minutes ago (i know it’s not exactly an emergency but we weren’t allowed to touch him) and they still hadn’t shown up so we rang an ambulance. They were here almost as soon as we had hung up (I love our ambulance service as they have time limits which they have to keep to. This means that hopefully they are always there within 10 minutes)
Anyway, they managed to shift the guy. They were a lot more forceful than us I’ll admit, but they had gloves! The chief guy was great, he reminded me of the main character in Sirens :)
So once the bloke had finally moved, we realised he was a drug user, and the carrier bag in his hand was full of needles and drugs! It’s a good thing we didn’t try to be forceful as if he had lashed out, this could be an entirely different blog post about how I got accidentally injected with heroin from a filthy needle! Nothing like flashing blue lights to brighten your day ;)
Popped into Fopp on the way home to see if they had anymore tee shirts. They seemed to have no end of Tron ones which I didn’t want to buy, as I have neither seen or read it. However, they had a Silver Surfer one so I got it for Chris, and they had a Kermit the Frog one so I got that for me :) Also treated myself to the Rocky Horror Soundtrack as I have wanted it since seeing the production :D
