Nice to be nice

I was having a pretty rubbish day on Tuesday, started by sleeping in for work and therefore not getting a shower. I then had a very busy day at work in a roasting hot office while I felt like a bag of sweaty rubbish sitting in the sun.

Finally home time and I go down the road, get the train back to the Southside and run along to my flat. Just about to get in the shower and my mobile phone rings from a number I don't recognise. I answer and a voice says,

"Hello is that Allistair?"
"Yes"
"Do you own a pen dirve?"
"Yes"
"Is it silver?"
"Yes"
"Is it made by LG?"
"Yes"
"I found it in the street, hope you don't mind but I looked at the files to see if I could identify the owner and found a thing about the southside festival with your name and number."

I was of course delighted, I must have dropped the pen drive out my pocket as I ran across the road. The man invited me to nip round and get the drive so I put back on my shoes and walked round, stopping off at the off license to purchase a nice bottle of wine as a reward. The do-gooder tried to refuse the wine but I insisted pointing out that I had been having a pretty rubbish day and he had restored my faith in the world. Ended up having a nice chat about the Southside Festival and him and his friend will be looking to orginise some kind of outdoor music event in the near future which I have agreed to post about in return for his help. (The flyer above is for one of their previous events.)

Anyway in a week that has seen such nasty things occuring in the Queens Park area, its nice to know that there are still honest people out there doing good deeds.

Well done that man.
