I really like small kindnesses like that, even if I'm just seeing them being given to someone else.

They definitely brighten the day up!

It was just about the nicest thing that's happened in a week. As I said, quite small but very unexpected.

Interesting. I'm supposedly the coldhearted I'm-all-right-Jack one, but I've always done that sort of thing when in that chap's position. It just...greases the wheels. It takes nothing from the donor but a few random moments, and brightens the day of the receiver. What's not to like?

Good to hear about it, especially just about now :-)

Tis a lovely thing to be doing. You big softie, you...

Nah, I'm a medium softie. Or, like Mrs Cake, a small medium.

:P

Back from what should have been a lovely walk. Instead, I feel like a dead thing. Not even an undead thing. Sodding ME. Ah well, there's always tomorrow!

THat's such a nice thing to do. I love when people do nice things that they could easily not do, and not be thought less of.

It's the thought that counts isn't just a cliche.
