Evening,
It's been a funny couple of days in that nothing has annoyed me. Nothing I can sneer at has been brought to my attention. What is even more unexpected is people are going out their way to be kind.
There I was in work first thing when I was presented with a bouquet of flowers and two large bars of Swiss chocolate by a client I'd done some very easy and routine work for recently. I have to say I was very moved given that the client is on a
pitifully low income and no doubt has better things to spend their money on.
Later someone from another organisation announced that they'd sorted out a very complicated and urgent piece of work for me because I looked busy.
By the time one of my work colleagues started talking about the annual deprived and disabled
children's day out organised by the Glasgow taxi drivers,for which the drivers in effect give up a day's work and earnings to chauffeur the children to Troon, I felt like crying.
On my way home a menacing looking fellow in a skip hat raced towards me when I was getting on the bus to give me his all day ticket and save me my bus fare. Almost home,I nipped into a shop to buy something for my tea and a very nice checkout lady gave me a free bag to carry my flowers in without being asked. As you can imagine I'd started to become suspicious by this point. Was it a trick? A surprise be nice to Clairwil festival? Who knows?
There is a lesson for humanity somewhere in all that but I'm sure by tomorrow everyone, myself included, will be back to growling and fighting and none the wiser.
Cheerio
