One Bag Too Many

[MMDown Under]

I just returned from sale shopping on a local bus with one bag too many.  A gentleman on the bus helped me carry my shopping bags off the bus.  I amalgamated  my shopping, but was still had one bag too many.  Then an angel appeared at my shoulder and asked whether he could help me.  Yes, please, I only live around the corner.  He took ALL

I took Marion's post to mean that the kind gentleman helped her with all her bags. I hope that's the case .......

It is all too common nowadays.

I can't imagine a fast getaway with all those bags.

I guess she DID qualify with the description "angel".... but with the increase in crime rate these days???

I'm sorry.  My keyboard jammed.  I kept coming back to it, to no avail.  

 

He took ALL my heavy shopping bags, told his wife in the passenger seat to shove over and follow us around the corner.  (He had parked illegally in a bus stop). As his wife parked in front of my house, the green bin truck driver waited patiently to collect my green bin, as she ran around the back of the big black vehicle back to her passenger seat.  .  

Michael of Hope Island, what a gentleman!, ably supported by his wife, who waved as they drove off.

Anglers Paradise, a place name, in the old northern part of the Gold Coast, is a wonderful friendly place for seniors to live.  Even though an inpatient driver once told my elderly neighbour 'He should get a horse and cart" and his indignant elderly wife gave them "the finger".  A day doesn't go by that someone doesn't offer to help me.

How not to end up with one bag too many on public transport.

 

Don't buy six heavy books (2 theatre, 2 travel, 1 cook book like I need another cook book and 1 Refidex for Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast Street Directory 2024)

1 Kitchen Rubbish Bin

2 heavy thermoglass baking dishes 3 litres

2 cushions to line other new cushions

2 reed diffusers

plus misc light kitchen stuff

or don't use public transport when returning from the shops, we often walk or take the bus to the shops  but Uber back if we have bought to much.

Yes I have one of these which I take on the bus, but I didn't intend a big shop.  Just an enjoyable Boxing Day Sale browse in an empty shop.  BYW I bought what I came to buy, which isn't always the case.
