What was the latest good deed you done?

My neighbour is about 70. He fell and broke his hip 8 months ago.
No one visits him. We sit outside in the evening and natter away, as you do.
With this extremely hot weather we are having I bought him a Pedestal fan to help him keep cool.
I told him someone threw it out and I salvaged it.
People throwing stuff out happens often around here.

Listened to a friend talk about her short tempered husband and how he treats her.

@Entwistle That helps a lot. 👍️She knows that someone cares🙂

Brilliant. I love the way you protect his dignity by saying you salvaged it. Any Aussie would be ok with that.

@Abstraction Well done.
So many people simply want someone to listen to them.
But very few people actually ask the question, "Are you okay" because they really do not want to know.

@Gusman You spend half your life trying to keep your head above water. When you end up in the lifeboat, doing ok, least you can do is put out a hand for someone else.

Gusman · 61-69, M

@Abstraction Agreed. One does not have to be flush to lend a helping hand.
Do it quietly but do it all the same.

I was careful to park smack in the middle if my parking space...I don't want to crowd my neighbors

That was thoughtful of you. Has his hip healed, can he get around OK?

Gusman · 61-69, M

@iagreed He had a hip replacement. Walks with a Stick now. Very slowly.
He can drive.
