11:41a - love and donations
Each week, a decorated matchbox with a tiny present hidden inside is left by a girl (and sometimes willing friends) somewhere in her travels. It's a random act of semi-artistic kindness aimed at disrupting someone's day in a tiny but positive way. That's if they dare to pick it up...
On Valentines Day there were loud protests all around the place from people who claimed they didn't 'do' the hallmark holiday. I just wanted to give them all a chocolate and tell them that everything was going to be okay.
A week before, there was a knock at the door and I left my apple pie to find a small package with large curvy handwriting on the front. My friend Anna who I met at uni had made me a box! Yay!! Ever the perfectionist, she had waited about a year until she found the right thing. I wrote saying thank you and she replied, saying she liked that it had eyes. I have some really great memories of doing little things with Anna, like listening to shells she brought back from overseas and eating jelly beans in Hyde Park.. after she saved me all the colours that I liked (red and white). Thank you Anna!
I've been writing a bit for Lost at E Minor, which has been great fun cos I can write about anything really, like this gnome repository I found near my home. It's my last week at my house, I'm moving on the weekend so have said goodbye to the black neighbourhood cat that likes to wander uninvited into my bedroom and even left a fresh gnome for the local collector. But I'm mega excited about the move, I'm going to have internet access again! YAY!
