We’ve said it here before: “People can be so nice.” Kindness compounds. It makes us, and the things around us, better.
I promise this is the last word on Mildura—a place so far removed, in more ways than one.
Yesterday (Thursday) was wet here; of course it was, club cricket starts this weekend, or doesn’t! Tapping away most of the afternoon listening to rain fall on an old tin roof, I wasn’t at all connected with much else. Witching hour called; coat or umbrella, I ventured out front to access, and there it was, the package I’d been waiting for.
The good folk at NRMA Mildura Riverside Holiday Park returned my wayward wash bag.
It’s not until you don’t have what you need that you realise how much material crap you really have, and how important the small necessities are to you. Nail scissors, beard clipper, electric peg-cleaner, CK perfumery.
People looking out for each other. A cleaner found it, returned it to the boss lady, who bagged and sent it. No fuss, no problem, all without any expectation of thanks. That’s kindness in its most ordinary and most powerful form. Thank you to the good people of Mildura.
Enough. It’s so good to have it back.
Watch out in the BC tonight.

In Greece it’s called Philotimo.
