I’ve been busy (albeit for the last year or so) setting up a new company - www.brikdigital.co.uk – moving house and basilcally getting on with living.

My desire and commitment to maintain a blog has been questioned as my time has been squeezed but a chance re-direct back to my blog got me thinking I should write something new…

… And this week goings-on have been better than most and certainly worth sharing

I’ve been involved with freecycle this week which has lead to a number of interesting co-incidences. Freecycle is a very simple website that allows people to give away things they dont need. This makes sense more than ever now, which all the shit to do with the economy and all – its the ultimate recycling tool. I picked up a Gaggia coffee machine yesterday. All be it being the best part of 20 yrs old, it’s built well and with a bit of elbow greese and one or two parts (perhaps) I can be the proud owner of quality piece of kit for free.

Aside from the material gain in this instance freecycle gives and gives. Although I have only been involved recently it gives you a chance to meet new people in your area who share a similar life ethos. It is kind, if you dont need something then someone else might. No egos. Only generosity and appreciation exist at freecycle. After all if it doesnt work, it’s free – just get rid of it.

Co-incidences? Yep, are they meant to be or are they really ‘co-incidences’, thats a debate for a different day. but this week through freecycle I have come into contact with someone who could help through work and another who I’d attended an event they organised but didnt know they had, so at least retrospectively I could say thanks!

Good karma has prevailed from these meetings and I am confident more beneficial co-incidence will emerge from freecycle sharing.
