Acts of kindness
It was Wednesday; we were off to the Special Olympics ten pin bowling in Whangarei.
The van we were borrowing from Far North Disabilities (free of charge) was stuck behind a police barrier due to another heinous crime. We waited for an hour, and then asked the policeman in charge if he could bring the vehicle out of the restricted area for us. He did, and told us we would need to put some fuel in or we might not get to Whangarei.
We stopped at the Mobil garage and Flow said we had better put some extra air in the tyres because of our heavy load. We went across to Beaurepaires and Murray was happy to fill the tyres for us. He noticed that the rear left tyre was worn so he offered to change the tyre, all free of charge.
We arrived in at the Whangarei wave pool in Whangarei and excited students swam and played in a fantastic community environment. Unfortunately one student had a minor indiscretion (well at least he got out of the pool). We apologised profusely and offered to clean the area. But the staff smiled and reassured us, and insisted it was their job.
