^ adorable

I saw a lady today and she stopped me and said to me, "I think I taught you!"
She was my Year Two primary school teacher!
I cannot believe that she remembered me!! I got a bit star struck and said, "Wow! I absolutely loved you!"

The few supportive people at my workplace. Most people aren't really nice or supportive to me.

^^ Is she still teaching? Most of the teachers that taught me must be retired now (.. you know you're getting old when).


I discovered a bird nesting in one of our older/barely used work vans, under the bumper...? I told one of the senior guys and they've taken note. Found out later yesterday he was putting water out for the parents.

^ yep, she's still teaching. I can't believe I professed my love for her hahah but I really did adore her when I was a child.

Now that I think back, she gave me a bit of a bad school report. I remember my parents being cross with me and the head teacher wrote a comment about me too haha. Whoops.

I contacted a lady that sells plants in December looking for a string of turtles plant that I would have liked to get for my sister (for Christmas). The lady said she'd message me when she gets them in stock. She messaged me yesterday to say she has some. I thought it was really sweet of her to remember 7 months later and now I can finally get one for my sister who has been after one for a while.

Christmas presents in July.

^what a nice name, "string of turtles". I had to Google and the name is fitting and the plant is lovely too.

It's been a few hours but I'm still pathetically touched by the random act of kindness of a stranger.

A groceries delivery driver today checked my eggs before handing them to me, so just to try and make conversation I told him about the one time in the past that one egg was missing from of the box (and that I had thought that was funny). After I'd finished collecting all my stuff and was about to close the door, he asked "did you get a refund?", I think I must have looked confused because he added "about the eggs". So I laughed and said no, it was only one egg.

Later on, I checked my emails and I got refund for eggs.

Beautiful, aren't they

Aww that's so sweet that he made sure they gave you the refund. One missing egg haha how funny. I wonder if someone went shopping and thought, "I only need one of these!" A bit like people do with bananas from the bunch.

This is not one to click on if you are afraid of spiders.

This is so cool! A scientists has been studying jumping spiders as they sleep and believes that their twitching and eye movements suggest they dream!

Of course spiders are unable to confirm or deny this.

As I was getting in my car after work, I heard someone shouting. I got a bit scared. Then this man appeared. He was walking his dog and singing loudly with his headphones in. Haha. He was really giving it some welly. Then I drove past him as he was waiting to cross the road and he was still going for it he's my hero.

A steam train chugged through the station yesterday for some reason. It was cool. Felt like I was in a film.

I'm wearing a dress today. I rarely wear dresses but it's warm for the first time in months.
My hair is down, my makeup on and I look actually half decent.

Three cars stopped on a road to let my cross when I wasn't at a crossing.
Hilariously close to home a car stopped on my side to let me cross but I couldn't cross because there was a car coming the other way. So then the other car stopped at well. Both of them holding up tons of traffic to let me cross.

Never had anything like that before haha

The sun's out nice today and even though it's about 70mph wind it's lovely to just be in it.
I had to spend the entire winter with my curtains closed as builders were going works on scaffolding the gits.
