Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

I fell in love with another woman on Thursday... in a totally plutonic way, of course.

 

After alighting the morning train at Waterloo, I was walkign briskly behind the new love of my life, not really paying much attention to her, nor most things around me. Suddenly, she looked towards the train and, then darted towards it. As I was close to the train,  I couldn't see until I passed her, but she stopped her London frenetic paced walk to help an elderly man who was clearly struggling to step down from the train to the platform. It was a heart-melting moment. Seriously, if there was a flower vendor on the platform, she may well have had herself a bunch of flowers.

It's great to see there are still nice people around.

 

She probably thought she was just helping one old bloke. Never realising she made half a dozen others feel good all day at the same time.

Hey everyone.

Xmas is just around the corner.

 

The annual Qantas flight QF1330 went over my place this morning.

It must set some record for the most expensive and tedious 12 hour joyflight from Melbourne to, all the way to ....... Melbourne.

 

If there is enough demand they might offer QF1330 again on New Years Eve.

 

If 360 people have this kind of cash to spare (up to $8k per seat) there is no cost of living crisis.

 

Thank you Albo.

Plutonic refers  to ROCKS formed deep below the earth's surface under great pressure. . Platonic means no "filth' like Bonking , Perving, touching up eroticism etc and is probably mostly Fictional..  Nev

Little successes give you pleasure.

 

When I put down the vinyl floor covering in the boot room, the back door began to catch in one spot as it swung. The other day I took the door off and sanded about 2 mm off the bottom of the door. I also took the hinges off and removed the paint that was on them, and fixed them so that the pins moved in and out freely, making the hinges move freely. Then I put it back using larger gauge screws. 

 

To my surprise the door swung freely and the lock engaged perfectly where before it needed a bit if a shove. Win!

The success is in the detail... Nev
