Me again.

‍

I had to take on the good deed feed this week, and you’ll soon understand why.

‍

After covering the Norm Perry Memorial Duck Race a couple weekends ago, I shuffled across to the market stalls sprawled across the park.

‍

A particular stall caught my eye, displaying a range of homemade sauces that I thought might help salvage my cooking. I was particularly drawn to a steak sauce—so much so, I was prepared to buy it. One problem: it was cash only, of which I was devoid.

‍

After much deliberation, I eventually decided that life must go on without the steak sauce. Although, I guess the universe had other plans.

‍

The universe’s name in this scenario, was Janet Delaney.

‍

A few days pass and I receive a message from Janet, informing me that she overheard my ordeal at the counter and decided to buy the sauce for me, but couldn't find me again in the park.

‍

We arranged for her to drop it off at my apartment and had a jolly old yarn.

‍

So Janet, if you see this, thanks again. You absolutely made my day, and are a perfect example of what it means to be a Burdekinite.
