DILEMMA

Was wondering whether to change the title of my blog because, as of yesterday, the old bag has a new bag.

A very large box arrived at home addressed to Mrs C (could be Cheesel or Cheryl, two of the many names which refer to me) Murrell-Orgill. On opening this package, with great difficulty due to the extensive tape used for security, I found the most beautiful bowls bag inside. There was no note to indicate the sender except a company name and a SA box number listed as the sender.

At first I thought I must have won a raffle, then discounted that because I would never enter a competition under that name.

On closer examination of the box, I noticed a 'MADE IN VIETNAM' on the side.

I thought my search for the donor had come to an end and rang Tones to thank him only to discover that this magnificent gift had come from Ben.

Wow! This was a very expensive gift for the little help I had given to him re tax stuff.

I rang and thanked him profusely and said that he had accrued 10 years of free advice.

There was a little pause then he mentioned that I would not be needed in future as he was being looked after by another.

Was this, then, a redundancy package? I think so but I don't care as it is the nicest bag in the whole of the Illawarra and maybe even NSW.

So - Old Bag Bowling is now an Old Bag Bowling with a New Bag. I like it!
