This mailman started writing fake letters for a dog because he could not stand seeing her disappointed. Back in 2016, Australian mail carrier Martin Studer had one very enthusiastic customer, a golden retriever named Pippa, who every morning would wait by the gate for Martin, gently take the family’s mail from his hand, and proudly carry it back inside as if collecting the post were her official job. On days when there was no mail, Pippa would be left waiting with nothing to collect, and Martin could not bear to disappoint her, so he started carrying blank postal cards in his bag and writing β€œMail for Pippa” on them [1]. Whenever there was no real post, he would hand Pippa one of the fake letters so she could still complete her daily mission. One mailman, one golden retriever, and zero real letters were needed to make her day. Sometimes the smallest act of kindness can mean everything to a dog

Morning @maidstonebc The fish are dying again in South Park pond (I counted about 15). Please can someone put the pump on as a matter of urgency as there must be no oxygen in the water?

Our Shakespeare with Sheps performance came to the Faversham Brewery last week – and what a show it was! The @Changeling performed Much Ado About Nothing, adding in a sprinkling of Sheps references too. The tour is mostly performed outdoors, but they make an exception for usπŸ˜‰πŸŽ­

Sports bar Sin Bin at Chatham Maritime got a big thumbs up on Sunday when influencer Big John came to a Soccer Aid fundraising night. He gave the menu his seal of approval & poured a pint from one of the new Beer Towers. A big thank you to him for coming down to the docksideπŸ‘Š

The fish are dying in South Park Pond, Maidstone. These dead ones, inc the big koi carp, were there this morning and tonight @maidstonebc - the pump installed last year isn’t even being used. It’s so sad. Please do something

All my small talk this month is based on it looking warm outside but it actually being quite cold.
