Day 3
(3 gifts surprisingly found)
320) the librarian surprisingly found that book ( that had been missing "forever") was actually returned by us on the due date, and taken out by someone else... and so the fine was no longer due
321) 10kg of dog food in my kitchen when I came in this evening.... a blessing.... delivered by my dad
322) shoes my daughter needed, just the right price, size and colour...usually it takes a number of trips to the shops to find the right shoes for her...and she was able to buy them for herself with her own money!
