Much Respect

Over in Edinburgh, the lovely coffee lifeform devotes many hours to the charity Pass IT On, which passes donated computers on to those who need ’em. It’s good work, and the kind of thankless low-key toil that stays in the background of our big ol’ society.
It took a step into the foreground this past week, with a fundraising concert organised by the caffeinated one (at the cost of god knows how many hours of her time, and a cigarettes-and-coffee bill running into the thousands of pounds), which she reports raised an astonishing seven and half thousand pounds. Blimey. And, by all accounts, it was a tremendously successful night of entertainment to boot.
I know a lot of people who sink energy into community projects and groups – lots of little things here and there, and occasionally big things like this. It’s nice to give a shout-out to a particular moment of success, but really this just reminds me how much respect I have for all people who put some time to make a difference just because they believe it’s worthwhile. You are all amazing.
Nice one Cat. Seriously impressed over here.
