I would like to thank the kind neighbour or passerby who collected a wooden box I had left out on Island Road with a note B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·˜free wood to a good home.B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ The box was taken quickly.

I was astounded to have the box returned to the curbside a week later filled with that same B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·˜kind personB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™sB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ garden debris.

I was offering the box containing good carpentry ready wood in good faith. If no one wanted the box, why was it taken?

Nothing much surprises me now after a long life, but this incident left me shaking my head. I will also confess to a few other reactions too.
