[Gift @gifttyk]

Our office did a Secret Santa last December with a strict $20 limit. Everyone knew the rules: one gift, anonymous, nothing weird.

A woman in accounts called Brenda drew the name of Gerald, the quietest man on our floor. he eats the same sandwich every day and has never once spoken in a meeting.

Nobody knew anything about him, so Brenda spent a week quietly paying attention. She noticed he stared at the window every lunchtime. She noticed he always drew the same tiny bird on his notepad.

On the day, the gifts went round. Everyone got mugs, candles and socks. Gerald opened a small, flat package and went completely still...

Crossing the "junction" on the Chartres river... #landrover #offroad #farm #westfalklands

@TheSecretAgron1 @RateMySausage To pay £50 for that they are more than stupid but fools and their money are soon parted.

@ThatFloWoman If they think whatever country is so wonderful why don't they go and live there!

@Everythinstfc24 @crewe_alex_ @Official_STFC What's your excuse?

[Wombat @Wombattle]

@Everythinstfc24 @crewe_alex_ @Official_STFC Should have been at least 3!

@RogerJ_01 @SoTCityCouncil Your dad was wonderful to listen to, so very well deserved and its from a @crewealexfc fan.

@euancafc I still look at the Kilmarnock team to see if he is playing each week. Loved watching him at the Alex.

@dickiewood Wetter than a otters pocket here this morning just as I was coming out of supermarket.

A cool but challenging day fishing, two nice fish caught. You realise how cold it's been when you walk into the house and your central heating has kicked in. #fishing #countryside

[Wombat @Wombattle]

@ThatFloWoman That's £24,995 too much!

[Wombat @Wombattle]

@PetrichorFarms Can't beat a real fire. It was cold here this morning in Cheshire but warmed up enough to dry lawns out and just get the mower out on the lawns (last cut hopefully). But seems to be going cold around 5.30 each night.

@CornishAndy59 @stwater I get a estimated bill and always check by reading the meter to see what the reading actually is. This quarter it was accurate again but if not I ring my reading in and get my bill adjusted. I pay £23.16 a month by meter to United Utilities.

[Wombat @Wombattle]

@PetrichorFarms @Essexbeano Oh lovely. Stevie follow me back please.

[Wombat @Wombattle]

@CornishAndy59 @somersetlevel Must have been out on the razz the night before they designed that. A 10 year old could do better, much better!

[Wombat @Wombattle]

@rawlimark The third one even more atmospheric in b & w. You know I liked it in colour on insta.

[Wombat @Wombattle]

@ThatFloWoman Friend rang this morning was 10 hrs in A & E, low blood pressure. Popping round later with some flowers. I have now a emergency contact in my phone.

[Wombat @Wombattle]

Yesterday a friend was taken ill at the bus stop. Total strangers helped,contacted me as they could see she had callled me on phone earlier. Passing Dr stopped & stayed with her. Sometimes incidents bring out the best in people. Thank you.
