I'm great, G, and doing outside spring cleanup this weekend, weather is supposed to be favorable for it finally.
Easter dinner with some friends of the family, and our daughter, SIL and granddaughters.

was hovering over him and was clearly worried. I asked him what was going on, and he said he knew this guy, and he had come into the store and fallen asleep standing up at the counter. The owner was probably more concerned for his business than for the guy ..... he has street frontage and lots of customers had turned around and headed off when they saw what was happening. But the drunk guy was asleep/comatose, seriously swaying on his feet and completely unresponsive to our attempts to talk to him. We were both quite worried about what might happen if he fell over and hit the pavement in a drunken stupor. So we called the paramedics. They were great - talked us through the need to ensure that if he fell there was something protective in place (which we had already done) and notified the community police. Eventually the drunk guy came to, resisted my attempts to find him a place to sit down or have something to eat, and headed off down the street. The paramedics asked me to stay on the line until the community constable found him ..... I did and just followed him. He knew that I was doing so, and asked me what I was doing. I told him I was just trying to make sure that he didn't hurt himself. During this time he had walked out across two really busy streets without looking, narrowly missing out on being hit by a Hummer at one point, and had knocked over a display unit outside a shop without even noticing. He met up with some people that he knew and they were not quite as pissed as him, but were still a bit out of it. He had some points at which he could walk, but mostly was hunched over, not able to put one foot in front of the other and very unstable.
