Even though I regard Valentine's as a Hallmark Holiday, it does provide the perfect platform for compliment giving.
So, I bought 12 long stemmed, red roses, attached little notes to them, sat in the centre of Perth and gave them to random passers by along with a compliment and a seasonal felicitation.
The first one I thrust through the open window of this campervan and scared the living crap out of a lad.
The highlight was when I gave one to this little old lady, she turned to me and said "Thank you so much dear, I was just thinking about my late husband and how I've lost my Valentine, then you came along."
Needless to say, I nearly sobbed.
The Big Issue man was cool, sharing an anecdote about his lack of women. I left a couple as surprises too, on a car window and for the waitress who served the very lovely coffee.
Random acts of kindness. FTW.
