Remember that I wrote...

... few days ago about losing my purse, and people being so kind and helpful?

There's more.

I got a telephone call the other day from the Maryvale Institute. My purse had been found, and in it was my Maryvale student card, and thus they had been contacted. My purse - with cheque-card, cash, and other items all intact - had been handed in at an office in Mincing Lane, in the City. When I went there to collect it, the nice secretary was just so happy to have been of help - she explained that it had been found by a chap who happened to be on his way to a meeting there, and he had given it to her asking her to deal with it all. He had found it on the Tube.

Today I noticed, at a Tube station, an advertisment asking people to send in any stories about "acts of kindness on the Tube". So I've written to them! Check out that website from time to time and see if my little story appears on it...

Joanna no mention of the Catholic Boogie Night on your blog? People were raving about your talk afterwards! Many guys were stirred into action, Ray Cilia the organiser told me that so many of the guys asked the women for a dance and a date after hearing your talk. Joanna you are a legend and thank you for your prophetic witness to young people!

How nice there are some honest folk about. My husband thought he'd lost his phone on the train,,, yes indeed he had and a call from someone confirmed that. Alas the said person had no itention of returning and in fact had used it rather a lot. Moral of that story,,, cancel even if you think it will come back.

That is very commendable that he returned it. Sorry to say, around here where I live it may or may not have happened that way.

It is so nice to hear of people being honest. This is very warming news and lifts my heart when people are honest
