    A heck of a surprise.
    Some person of unmarried parentage nicked, indeed pick pocketed, my purse. They got a fiver. I got an unexpected delight in the amount of prompt, intelligent, informed, professional enthusiasm at stopping cards & arranging replacements I came across even at nine thirty on a Sunday morning.
    Extra thanks to Asda, who managed to stop an unregistered giftcard for me, and have a replacement ready for collection at my local store.

    Even in the stunned horror, I was very glad of all the kindness and help available.
  • My lovely parents gave me: apples, broadbeans, potatoes and swiss chard - all from the garden! :-) Tonight's dinner was swiss chard and potato gratin, and lovely it was too!

    Yesterday some farming relatives gave me a large bag of cooking apples and one dozen double yolk eggs. They are huge and heavy!

  • Our friend, Al, called round last night with a huge bag of crab apples. When he left, he remembered he had some rhubarb, too. DH found it posted through the letterbox; he wondered what the bulge in the door curtain was!
    I saw Al this evening and he put three more crab apples in my lap as he walked past; the ones that thought they had got away!:rotfl:
  • One of those mornings. Got up a bit late, DS2 couldnt find the right PE kit, the traffic was awful AND it was raining. By the time I got to work I was fed up and stressed, then I remembered that I hadnt had any breakfast!

    Went to get some files and came back to my desk to find a cup of coffee and a cereal bar - kindly donated by my lovely colleague. Such a little thing but it put a smile on my face for the rest of the day.
