Lock Down Sixth Day

Sunday, the sixth day of the lock down, there was not the usual crowd coming to the center for breakfast and then a pleasant walk.



The street was just as empty as yesterday and the day before  and before....





Near to the main door of my block, a homeless guy was sitting there alone. No mask, just a pair of rubber gloves. A homeless guy sitting alone under the empty arcade.
Left him some coins, let hope it helps.


We are advised to stay home and go out as little as possible, but for the homeless like him, where should they go?



Remember last night, while was out for a short walk, the street was quiet and almost empty.
Then we saw an acquaintance sitting on the steps of the entrance to a restaurant. The restaurant was closed of course. So he was sitting there alone looking at the empty piazza.
He was almost pleasantly surprised to see us, then he asked us about the supermarket. We told him what he wanted to know and we greeted him and left.
He went back to the same spot and sat down again alone.
Does the current situation makes lonely people even more lonely?






Before lunch, saw a row of police cars passed by the street, perhaps it was the time to change shift.
