The importance of charity.

This week has been far from quiet. As you doubtless know, I am generous with my time for charities and helping those less fortunate than myself. The advertising agency I work at has many large clients and from time to time they have a few give-aways, which I always do my best to secure, to donate to worthy causes.

This week I was fortunate enough to secure a very nice piano and of all things a mechanical bull. Perhaps you remember that there used to be software companies around that would try to be particularly cool by having a pool table in the reception area, or even a mechanical bull. All very cool, until the insurance company had to make the first pay out. So now, one of the software companies we look after wants rid of the mechanical bull!

I called up Sylvester, who has a great truck and arranged for him to swing by their office and pick up the mechanical bull, and then go on to pick up the piano from another company. Sylvester, being smarter than he looks, got some help from Sebastian, my personal trainer, Max my neighbours son, and Ali my gardener. Between the four of them they got things well organised and loaded while I chatted to the seniors home near Hucklebery Close, who were very pleased to have the piano. A few minutes later the local hockey team returned my call saying they’d love a mechanical bull for fundraising events.

I found myself basking in a sense of self satisfied appreciation until later that day Sylvester swung by and described the difficulty they’d had loading the piano into the elevator at the skating arena. Apparently loading the mechanical bull into the seniors home had gone of without a hitch, though.

Don’t forget to look out for our crossdressing ghost story, this week.
