What good deed did you do today?

[Mad Doug Biker]

I have 2, one yesterday on an epically tiny scale and one today which went a bit awry.

Yesterday, we were out cutting lawn when my Dad came across a defunct bee crawling across the grass. I took it inside and fed it sugar mixed with water until it came too and was able to fly off again.


The other, was just earlier there. I was walking up the road and a guy I know vaguely was on the other side. He has special needs and lives in the local sheltered housing. Anyway, something wasn't quite right, he was standing in a strange position as if his two shopping bags weighed a ton and was having trouble moving them, then he started to stumble before falling and having a fit. Well, when I could I crossed over and moved him out from the road where he'd fallen as there were cars swerving past him.

When he came too, he started having a go at me because I had moved his two shopping bags and that he had some some sort of crumble in one of them and I'd have surely got it squashed, no thankyou or anything.

Anyway, I went to where he lives and told the warden, so she'll mention it to him.

Yesterday I was cycling down the main road, and saw a young boy standing next to his bike looking at it rather hopelessly. A man was walking towards him who looked like he may be his dad, so I kept on going. Turned out it wasn't his dad, and the man walked straight past the stranded boy.

Turned my bike around and asked him what was wrong. He showed me how he could turn the pedals, but the bike wasn't moving. Chain had come off the chainring. Put it back on for him and he was back on the bike again.

I took my dad a punnet of grapes...just because.

Look! it's Friday and i felt sorry for him (i was also slightly tipsy) but what's the point of being best friends when you can't ask for favors.

I bought some new Shimano spd-sl cleats For £7 posted off ebay. The lad sent them packed on top of each other - £2.70 postage instead of 75p.

So I sent him £2.70 and a polite explanation on how to save himself a few bob and the going rate of cleats.

£2.70 promptly returned with a snotty reply.

Fed an abandoned cat at work today. It's been around for a few days now and was in need of some food.

Contacted a cat shelter group (or whatever they're called) when I got home and offered to take it in for them to care for, should they want me too.

Bat caves and a birds nest. Am re-pointing an old wall and found an old birds-nest in one gap and signs of bat occupancy in 2 other gaps. So instead of filling them I carefully pointed round. Didn't like the idea of entombing the unfortunate bats and anyway they eat mozzies and other nasties, I believe.

Sad, this. No one else bothered to stop?

Well done you. I suspect if he'd had a fit, when he came too he probably felt a bit disorientated, and acted a little irrationally.

As Arch said. Confusion & disorientation after the fit. He may not even remember walking into the road. Auto-pilot before the fit, so the last thing he may remember could have been walking out of the shop.
Nice to know that not everyone walks on by..

Gave my cousin a lift to the railway station and later helped my brother check his car over for a long trip.

I recall that as a scout I promised to do at least 1 good deed every day. You've reminded me I'm in arrears.
You are a meerkat and a gentleman.

I picked a worm up from the road and popped it into a field...

Thats part of the Cub Scout Law.

Maggot, confrm this part. I know you're a Scout Leader. However you will have had to take cubs as well I presume.

Erm... what did I do? I called on my elderly neighbours while wearing shorts and they teasingly said "don't come back until you can afford some trousers". I phoned my nephew to congratulate him on passing his music teacher's diploma with 100% and 12 distinctions and getting a job at a good school in Leeds. I evicted a dozen caterpillars off the cabbages. I ironed quite a lot of shirts. Ummm... is that enough?
