People are amazing.......

When I got to work this morning, on my desk was a card which I duly opened expecting it to be a Christmas card - - what a surprise when I opened it to find it was a Thank You card from a colleague, along with £25 M&S voucher, for helping him with a few bits and bobs in his new house! Goodness me, I have barely done anything - mostly guidance and loaned him a carpet shampoo-er....... what a lovely gesture.

Then tonight, the doorbell goes - its another colleague of mine with a bottle of Johnny Walker (Gold Label no less) as a thank you for fixing his home cinema system! I never charge for these sort of jobs nowadays, as I actually get a lot of pleasure from keeping something in service and out of landfill, as well as a nice feeling that I have done a good turn somewhere - - and here he is paying me in alcohol (very nice alcohol too!); aren't people just amazing...

 

Never, Freddy, You?, one of the Good Guys???

 

I always try to help people and whenever anyone helps us we always thank them with some sort of, practical, gift or take them out for a meal.

It's surprising how even non friends or work colleagues are happy to help. I do most of my food shopping in Sainsbury's and, over the years, have got to know the staff. A smile and a cheery word to them each time always helps . I was chatting to one of the ladies stocking the shelves and we were talking about holidays. I said that we were going to America and would, during one part of it, be visiting some relations. The relations had told me to phone them when we got to the airport and they would pick us up. Unfortunately, I don't have a phone and happened to mention it to the lady. So she said, "come and see me next time you're here and I'll lend you one" which she did . It was one that she bought in America so was enabled for use there.

There are some lovely people around.

 

It's a religious belief in fate. What will happen, will happen - for good or bad.
