Human nature is full of surprises
Yesterday, I got an email from a person I have never met. I had only crossed a couple of tweets with him. In that email he was telling me that he saw my posts about my sorrow. He was offering his support, a conversation and a coffee. This email was a total surprise, a wonderful surprise. It could not come in a better moment. I was completely down and depressed, and his generous act has helped me to slowly start getting out. This person was Johnnie Moore (@johnniemoore).
We had breakfast today at Paul in Covent Garden. I didn’t propose the place, he did. I mention it because this was our favourite place where we used to have breakfast together on Sundays when she was in London. A curious coincidence. The conversation between us flowed like a torrent. He is a very interesting and entertaining guy to talk with. It made my day. But it doesn’t end here. At 11 am, Anne McCrossan (@annemcx) came to Paul to meet Johnnie. And there we were, three people sharing a London morning with warm tea, coffee and some pastries. The conversation became a huge river of ideas between us. I couldn’t wish for better company, really. Thanks to both of you. What a treat!
While having our last drinks (this time at the BFI bar in Southbank, after a lovely walk from Covent Garden), I got another little surprise. I got a Facebook message on my iPhone. It was Rogelio Queijeiro (@chicho_malbixo) saying that he had seen my posts, and offering his support, though I have never met him. This means a lot to me. Thank you.
