day 71... praising unsung achievement!

something to lay praise upon!!
and then lay uponyour toast!!

day 71... Today i was bade to " praise an unsung achievement"
So i kept my eyes peeled ( i hate that term, it doesnt create a pleasent image in my head) for small, maybe overlooked achievements. I looked on the streets as i walked, maybe someone had put real effort into their garden and had heard not a word of encouragement.

 I stayed alert while reading the newspapers maybe something praiseworthy would catch my eye, i listened out as  my friends talked in the pub, when i went to get a coke from the bar i was sure to pay attention to the bar made.. her general manner, her service, the way she poured my coke, the consistency thereof, im afraid she did nothing to inspire praise... nothing noteworthy even on a small  level , however if next time she serves me the ring  in her lip is gone she will certainly recieve praise for that.

Later in the day at home i found it, something definately worthy of quiet accalades in my humble opinion, wnat to know what it was? say YES out loud or you wont understand the next paragraph!!.

O.K... i was relaxing in the living room late in the day  watching nothing imparticular on t.v, and feeling slightly peckish i headed for the kitchen toast i thought.. marmite on toast, now i have always been a big fan of the equally loved and maligned yeast based spread.

 I however has always had a defect, when you reach the bottom of the tub it becomes inreadibly hard to get out of there. When i reached into the cupboard i was greeted by marmite.. but it had evolved.. it was a plastic upside down standing squeezy marmite. Words can not express my delight at how easy it was to use... this i thought is note worthy!!

And so i fashioned a brief note to the makers thereof... it follows:-

...................................................................................................................................

Dear marmite team,

May i congratulate you wholeheartedly  on the creation of your new squeazable marmite, I have always been a lover of the black stuff, but often found myself frustrated by the difficulty experienced removing the last of the marmite from the old style tub.

Your new tub is a stroke of genius, for which you deserve comendation, well done fine sirs,  the contents are as good as ever ,  and the packaging that encases the heavenly goo has made the matter of removal from jar a pleasurable experience.

You have made this marmite user exceedingly happy.

many thanks
mike
