Twice in the past month, I have been overwhelmed by the kindness of strangers in our community
The first occasion was in my local supermarket late one very hot afternoon. I was extremely tired and just wanted to get the shopping over abd done with, so I could get home and put my feet up
At the checkout, my cash flow card declined. I then realised I had the dates mixed up and the money was due into my account the following day .
Tiredly, I explained to the checkout operator that because I had left ny phone at home, I would need to shoot home and move a little money into that account, then return for my small bundle of groceries.
As I walked away, she called out "It's OK, it's sorted" .
A complete stranger had used his card to pay my account He even asked me if I had bought everything that I needed at that time. I was so overcome and grateful It was not a lot of money by some standards but his kindness and caring concern for my welfare was humbling.
This afternoon, in a city supermarket, I had overpurchased for the amount of money in my account at that time - tiredness again was a factor and a health issue, causing pain in my feet and ankles.
I managed to pull out quite a few of the dearer items and had almost reduced the bill down very close to what was required.
At this point, a lady gave the checkout operator a $20 note to settle the bill "Oh no", I protested " I will just take a few more items out"
She would not hear of it. Once again, I was thunderstruck by kindness from a stranger.
I am an ex JAFA. Whatever is in the water here, it is beautiful.

What Do Women Want? Adventures in the Science of Female Desire

Daniel Bergner

2013. Paperback, 224 pages

Excellent condition

In this headline-making book, Daniel Bergner turns everything we thought we knew about women's desire on its head.

Drawing on extensive research and interviews with renowned behavioural scientists, sexologists, psychologists and everyday women, Daniel Bergner asks: - Do women really crave intimacy and emotional connection? - Are women more disposed to sex with strangers or multiple partners than either science or society have ever let on? - And is 'the fairer sex' actually more sexually aggressive and anarchic than men?

Petrol

Sharon from Leamington

Anyone else noticed the price of 95 petrol has gone up 10 cents this week
Anyone else peed off about it, thought we had a review on this blatant profiteering
How do these guys sleep knowing the record profits they are making
Their commercial clients get huge discounts at our expense
