Have you ever been in line of traffic waiting to join the main highway and got cross because no-one would let you in?

Have you ever been at a supermarket check-out wanting to buy something and you only have cash and its not quite enough?

When did you last hold a door open for someone who was scruffy and not very polite?

I have started to look out for everyday and unusual situations when I can do something for somebody which is unexpected and helpful even if it appears not to have a significant value to me.

When my mum died in 1993 I inherited a complete set of the books written by Charles Dickens. They have ben on my bookshelf for the past 9 years, untouched and unread. They must be read, that’s what books are for!

Being a grey beard and not usually one to take risks I would like to, nay even need to, take more risks. Not stupid risks like tightrope walking over Niagara Falls, but the sort of risks that just add more to life and make it less “safe”.
