Up a tree
In a flowerbed outside Woolworths
On a busy roundabout in the middle of Paris![]()
ok:
Up a tree: bit boring that one, road protests, everyone slept up trees, same as down tunnels. Except I'm shit scared of heights, so I was a tunnel digger. Which makes finding myself at the top of a rickety treehouse in the morning definitely qualify as 'worse places'. Getting me down again was interesting.
In a flowerbed outside woolworths: when most of my hometown consisted of squats, we felt like the whole town was our house, and used to sit in the centre at the dead of night drinking until dawn, when we'd nick all the milk from certain well known fast food establishments, re-deliver it round all the squats, then catch the bus off to do a day's fruit picking at the local farm to provide next night's liquid fuel. Did get a bit of sleep occasionally though, and that flowerbed must have seemed like as good a place as any.
On a busy roundabout in the middle of Paris: Backpacking to Lyon for a conference, no cash whatsoever. Most places you can find a quiet out-of the way field or something to kip in along the way, but in the middle of a big city, after a skinful, anything with a bit of grass and a tree on top looks like fair game. unfortunately we didn't realise that a)it was a roundabout
and b)5am was it's quiet period and it was going to get just a little bit busier than that in the morning.



then the taxi drive home
