itchyfidget and f4f3 both tagged me with the guilty secrets meme, which left me in a bit of a quandary, since I don’t do guilt (much) – and definitely not over these topics!( Read more... )

Good Deed/Bad Deed
Jun. 16th, 2006 06:00 pmWalking along George Street on a gloriously sunny day, I noticed a beggar sitting beneath a blanket by a bus stop. As usual, I shook my head when he asked if I had any change, and I walked on. (I can’t even remember if the beggar was male or female. I said he; perhaps I should have said she?)
A few steps on, I saw a handful of scrunched-up £20 notes lying at the feet of a well-dressed girl in dark glasses; she was searching her purse – whether for the money or not, I don’t know, but the notes, perhaps £100-worth, had clearly fallen from her purse.
I said as I passed, Is that your money? She was very grateful, she stooped to pick it up, and I walked on.
And then I thought, had the beggar seen the money? What could he have done with it – what difference would it have made to his life?
So, where is the kharma balance for that? Was that a good deed, or a bad deed?
(On another tack, though, this is probably the fourth time this year that I have spotted money – or a wallet – in the street. That is probably four more times than it has happened in the last five years.)

BBC News: Whaling Summit Setback for Japan
Apparently, Japan failed to win a vote at the International Whaling Commission. Yay!
(In case you hadn't realised, I like whales. A lot.)

Argentina v Serbia & Montenegro
Jun. 16th, 2006 10:06 pmIn a comment to a post by blonde222, jen_c_w suggested Argentina "played like gods". Well, I have just watched the digital replay of their 6-0 rout of Serbia & Montenegro, and they were brilliant. The other team wasn't on the park. Argentina just toyed with them. At one point, it looked like the referee was trying to encourage the Serbian defenders.
They were so much more exciting than Brazil - and streets ahead of England!
