As I travel I recognise
all the tender mercies I receive and things I am grateful for. I
shall mention them as TM.
My son Aden got me into
the Koru lounge at the airport so I spent a couple of hours lounging
around like the frequent travelers do. TM1.
When I checked in I saw
that my seat was by the window and I really needed an aisle seat for
the excursions to the tiny room. A young lady was sitting in the
middle seat so I asked her if she would mind moving to the window –
step one!. Then a young man who had the aisle seat came along and I
asked him if he would mind sitting in the middle. Step two - task
accomplished! TM2.
He was a lovely young
man from Singapore who had been on a working holiday as a chef in
Oamaru for six months. Had a wee chat with him about Singapore until
we were all asked to move. Apparently someone had paid for the sky
couch and that was in our row. The two young folk got moved up a
couple of rows and I got moved to Premium Economy – not in the
aisle – but I coped. TM3. There I had a chat with a lady who was
going to Gallipoli with nine other people, seeing where their
ancestors had fought and died and then cruising the Greek Islands.
