26 Oct 26 I want to share a couple of glow-up's that happened this week, mostly because I just love glow-up's. Do you remember me last week banging on about me wanting kiwifruits? And the distinct lack of. Well, I decided to be a bit cheeky and wrote a letter. I explained who I was, why I was writing, and what I wanted. Then I drove round and left it in their letterbox. You know, I'm that girl. I'll take a hard NO, over a wuss, Might-have-been-but-too-scared-to-ask. My thinking of this was, If someone put this much time and Energy into their garden, they might want to share their love. It's like baking. You don't bake for yourself, you bake for your family and friends. Anyway, I knew the hope was super optimistic, but left the letter anyway. Nothing that day. Nothing the following day. Then... A text from someone I have known 20 years, who I had last heard lived in the South Island. ...who had just found my letter in their letterbox. The gentleman I had met no longer lived there, my person had bought the property two weeks ago, and invited me round this Saturday to do a Kiwifruit. Then asked if there was anything else that I thought I might like. The second, It's not Spirit until it's Spirit, happened on Sunday. I was driving to my favourite place and passed an area that I had heard about, but never been to, so did a spur-of-the-moment detour. Found myself in a place I was never supposed to be, at a time I wasn't expected, ran into a person I had never physically met before, and had a conversation with them about a conversation, that they were never a part of. Which completely changed the trajectory of where I was going and what I was doing. Then I got a random phone call yesterday, out-of-the-blue, to say that, Yes, they changed their mind. I could have what I wanted, if I still wanted it. I fucking love glow-up's. Love always, T and Spirit, dino_the_dinosaur_kettle and the tribe xx * I respect the Elders of the Land where I work, live, laugh, love and play - Past, Present and Future.
