Today I went out to the city with some friends op shopping (charity store shopping for you non-aussies).
I bought a few bargains and came across some awful clothes too heh. It was a fun time :)
I met a homeless fellow along the way in the city and he asked if I had any change I could spare. I didn't have any coins, but I had a $5 note - so I gave him that :) He was really grateful. It was a nice feeling.
I got some lunch and was going to head home and then realised that a good friend that I haven't seen in ages lived nearby, so I randomly popped over to his house hoping he was home.
He was :)
I ended up spending 2 hours there and we sat and talked and laughed and had a d&m.. it was really nice. I'm glad I saw him.
And in doing so I also knocked something else partially off my list - item 39!
