Random acts of kindness that make your day

Rewind back to Monday lunchtime. It was cold (about 11 degrees, eek!) and rainy. I was about 15 minutes from home without an umbrella and not wearing warm enough clothes for the occasion. Luckily there was a kmart across the road so I ducked in to buy one.

Halfway home it stopped raining, so I'm waking along cursing the rain, the cold, the fact I just bought an umbrella when I didn't need one anymore, my PMS, my tiredness, the fact that I was on my way to present a patient case in a pretend exam I wasn't really looking forward to because at the end they always ask tricky questions and pretty much life in general.
