During this inclement day I have visited the hospital to sign-up for voluntary work, which it looks like won't happen until Feb, but it still seems worth it even for a few hours a week to go along with a job I'll hopefully have by then. After this I went and visited a friend for a cuppa before heading to the pub for a little while. When I was at the pub one of the blokes I drink with in the after work club (kind of) bought me a couple of pints. He'd just had a successful few days work and was keen to help me out since I'm so short at the moment. On his way out he also dished out twenty quid to me, which was an amazing, if unexpected, gesture.
I tried to turn him down but he wouldn't have it, saying that 'we help each other out' and that it would help me throughout the festive period. It was pointless to argue, as much as I initially did, and so I accepted. What an amazing gesture. I was entirely stoked by it, and dearly hope I can afford to buy him a pint back soon, and perhaps one day return the gesture somehow. This single act this evening has restored a great deal of trust in human nature for me, which for the last few days I have been struggling with.
