The kindness of strangers

After a long day at work the sound of the doorbell was not really what I wanted to hear. But i'm glad I opened it, as the lovely Cypriot lady from the apartment next door was standing there with a huge bag of grapes fresh from the village and homemade orange marmalade! She is the sort of Cypriot lady who is up at 6am preparing food for that nights dinner and judging by the awesome smell that is usually wafting from her front door, she is a pretty good cook!

I think she has made my day. I know it's only grapes and marmalade, but when was the last time your neighbor brought you gifts.

So toast and marmalade for breakfast tomorrow!
