Little things I like

Apparently my plane to CGK yesterday was “Clare Valley” but no Riesling in the J cabin!

A few years ago on my birthday, this Leeton boy found himself on VH-XZA.
Flight was SYD-ADL, so of course I had birthplace views for a spell!
No idea what the odds are on that one.

Nice story about someone writing to Barbara Feldon in the 60s and still in touch with them

Yesterday arrived to lovely Sydney weather with rain and wind. So no public transport this time.
We are travelling HCO this time so straight down to taxi. Got an older UK fellow who knew the eastern suburbs roads really well so a quick trip to the IC Double Bay. The meter read $56.20. Asked if paying by card and I said cash. So he said $50 will be fine.

He probably benefited from the karma as he got another fare straight away.

Another today. Walking back to the hotel through a mall when 8 young women were walking the other way stretched right across the walkway.
Hello,hello I said to myself here is another WCMO post coming. I stopped against a shop window. The woman coming towards me was using her phone as a mirror checking her hair. She walked straight into me and reflexively put her arms around me. I told her I liked her too much to the amusement of her friends who couldn’t stop laughing. So it became a LTIL.

Collected 8 parcels from the local post office today. I dropped half of them before getting to car but sweet girl (10’ish) and her father saw me .. she asked if I needed help picking them up. At that same time husband had parked the car and managed to come over and help me pick them up. I was so impressed / I told the dad what a kind respectful child he had raised.

… sadly why are manners so rare now that it was such a unique (refreshing) experience

At Carols in the local suburban park run by Rotary so not very big. A young girl in front of us maybe 3 or 4 did not stop running the whole time, she was so excited and had her microphone so she could sing along. I was exhausted just watching her but she was so sweet enjoying herself
