After I moved to the country I stayed in touch with the nice lady, who suffered badly from anxiety and depression. We exchanged postcards for a while, and I visited her the couple of times I went back to Syd. <br/>Then one day I received a letter, memorable for having been typed on a manual typewriter in the 2000s, telling me she&#39;d died and I&#39;d been left goods to the value of $x from her flat. Gentle reader, there was no way I was going to go there and pick through her things!! So I rang the number provided in the letter and told the executor I wouldn&#39;t be coming. She paused, and then asked if I was aware of the circumstances. Of course I wasn&#39;t but I just said I knew my friend tended to get depressed. The executor didn&#39;t correct me.<br/>There was another pause and she told me there&#39;d been a cash bequest as well - a fair bit, thousands. A handwritten cheque arrived in due course, and was honoured. I so very much hope my friend went to a better place.<br/><br/>I have lots of these strange stories - does anyone else? 2026-04-06T05:34:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2pyc23t26nzdd9gshu25gj2xk847wj2h5v653m59lplhxvhezauszyrjvccrchzmyq7978kmf0h9p2kjwlkyl4zvh5qxgcfg2peu4rtnz697ckjn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspjrgf6850v4ucemyqtlnta63kgptg958mgllul37ld6d8f8gdl9g22ssa9'>nevent1q…ssa9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>IKR.

Flattered, I agreed, although I&#39;d planned to go to a concert with Geof Webb and Gaynor Morgan that afternoon. I do a lot of admin work for classical concerts in this region so it was maybe not all that much of a stretch, but I&#39;m not used to actually addressing the audience. But hey why not.<br/>A few days later I met up with her and my friend over a coffee to discuss what she&#39;d like me to say. I named a few names of local musicians to gauge how well Stephanie is established in the minuscule local scene - not particularly, it seems. The conversation went well, I thought, but maybe I was a bit nervous and might have talked a bit too much, who knows.<br/>Then the following evening I received a text from Stephanie saying a friend had called &#34;out of the blue&#34; and would be doing the introduction; this friend &#34;knows my music really well&#34; etc thanks anyway. I was disappointed but responded politely, despite wondering a bit.<br/>Then today I got a call from another of the organisers looking for contact details for someone else. I took the opportunity to check if he knew Stephanie had summarily dismissed me; he said &#34;that&#39;s showbiz!&#34;. Um, Liszt? Rachmaninov? Showbiz? yeah nah. You&#39;re making it worse my fine esteemed man.<br/>Then he let slip that Stephanie had &#34;rung around a few people&#34; looking for someone, anyone!, who wasn&#39;t me. OOOKAAY.<br/><br/>Gentle reader, I won&#39;t be going to that concert. Nor will I be helping out on the Nimbin classical circuit any time soon.<br/><br/>AITA? 2024-08-29T04:48:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx2796d0gftlt7r765yxtp7qmg6kagcggxsaltecumv5xhtw4dafqzyrjvccrchzmyq7978kmf0h9p2kjwlkyl4zvh5qxgcfg2peu4rtnz6898p5n In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs05jwdt36we3p0jju43xxcjke74gnukgzdzee0vv62mq7up5nhxvsyv0374'>nevent1q…0374</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sounds awful 2024-08-26T22:47:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxaz0e2yyxqgv2hcrlr395thzdwv2njfn3q92ad3k40kyy7g3es7qzyrjvccrchzmyq7978kmf0h9p2kjwlkyl4zvh5qxgcfg2peu4rtnz67qv249 Hee hee only got the sport one wrong ✅❌✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅<br/>The Saturday Paper Quiz No. 514<br/>I got 9/10!<br/><a href="https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/quiz/2024/08/24?rival=1011111111">https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/quiz/2024/08/24?rival=1011111111</a> 2024-08-24T02:08:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqytpy9zuenp5yfdrd7y32ejjm3hl5r5cjx8svnv0f8dxwwjwrf2gzyrjvccrchzmyq7978kmf0h9p2kjwlkyl4zvh5qxgcfg2peu4rtnz650qkvs Such fun on a Sunday afternoon to get a call from a neighbour saying Fire is approaching &lt;another neighbour&gt;&#39;s place!
