Things That Gladden The Heart

Driving back from deliveries in Swindon today & passed through Moreton-In-The-Marsh & thought I'd grab something for dinner, so where better than a local village butcher.

Parked up & joined the queue where I was pleasantly thanked by a customer along with the butcher for my contribution to the supply chain in keeping businesses, the NHS & pharmacies topped up with essential supplies.

I was a little taken aback, what a lovely & thoughtful thing to do, just from seeing my signage on the van that I'm delivering essential items to & on behalf of the NHS as a Key Worker.

It's times like this that make all the long hours & difficult deliveries, especially to vulnerable people, so worth while.

Thank you Checketts Butchers, aka R & D Walker Butchers for the pork steaks, it's really nice to be appreciated for what myself, and many couriers across the country during these uncertain times, who are all having to diversify to meet the current daily challenges, will feel we're 'just doing our jobs'.
 
When your Boss fails to dial in to the excruciating 0900 daily Coronavirus conference call.

Thereby allowing an hour of Ben Webster, easter egg and reading the forum.

Small wins! :)
 
With my local shop shut had quite a lengthy walk to get my paper... An absolutely glorious morning and apart from a couple of joggers not another person in sight... Meaning no need to have to take special measures to ensure distancing making it a relaxing stroll...
 
Yesterday in general just gladdened my heart in several ways.

Firstly had to pop to RAF Waddington to pick up a secure network thingy wotsit for working from home. But their MT section have kindly lent me a new Skoda Karoq to use incase of emergency thanks to my 2 punctures and are sorting them out for me FOC. They even sanitised the whole car before handing over to me.

Then on way Home met our forums own @GB72 who has kindly donated an Xbox One to me for my wife to play online games with my kids whilst they can't come round during lockdown. So we set it up in the conservatory and it got used immediately to Skype kids on big screen for a long chat, then Mrs Wolf whiled away the afternoon playing games with the girls online, happiest I've since lockdown getting to interact with them properly.

Then i got to sit in the garden and get lost in my latest Tom Clancy novel for a few hours.

Yes indeed a proper day of all round good karma and pleasantries.

definitely one of the good guys!!!
 
A good friend who has spent 18 mths trying to make a living at poker (and is an excellent player), went back to work just having had a kid before this all started and laid off immediately had a massive score online tonight, will give him some breathing space for him, his wife and newly born and will actually give him time to choose what he really wants to do. So chuffed for him
