No prob guys, I'm curious about that 110, too!
Three really good things today:
1. Went to get my train month card renewed this morning, only to discover that the shop at the station is temporarily closed. It is being turned into a Seven-Eleven.
And I didn't have any change so that I could buy a ticket from the ticket machine on the platform,so that I could go to another station to get the /% card renewed. Hm, what to do?
In the meantime, a sweet elderly lady stopped and started talking with me about the shop and why it was closed today?
Long story short, she ended uo handing me an almost fully used 10-clip train card with one clip left, so that I could go to the next train station to get my card renewed. What a generous, helpful gesture!
2. Went to the next station and got my card renewed, and went back up onto the platform to catch the next train to Copenhagen. On the way, a kind guy gave me his newspaper for me to read in the train.
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it.
3. At work, I went to deliver an old police badge to a 92-year-old former officer. I was going to bring the internal mail to the central police station for their mail office to send out, and I could just as well drop by and give the gentleman his old badge.
It turned out that he was still agile for a man of his age, sharp, open-minded, cheerful and a true sweetie.
To top it off, he was one of the many danish police officers that were sent to the kz-camp Buchenwald, when the danish police were captured by the germans during WW2.
He gave me the old wooden spoon that he had made himself to use in Buchenwald, so that I could give it to the museum.
He had carved his daughter - then 8 months old - on the back of the handle, and "Dannebrog" - the danish flag - on the front.
And if that wasn't enough, he and his 60-something son is going to Rhodos together soon on holiday.
He couldn't find his old prisoner's dog tags, but later he called me to tell me that he had found them, and I'm going to pick them up on wednesday. I'm looking forward to meeting the man again, he's such a lively, cheerful, happy man - he's a joy to meet.
