How the free sample lady made my day

I started a course at the Reformed Theological College this year, doing a bachelor of Christian Studies. I do one subject on campus, and two online through distance. Since the college is in Geelong, and my Wednesday class starts at 9am, it makes for an early morning. The alarm goes off at 4:30 and I'm out the door by 5 to make the 5:17 Frankston train.
The Frankston train provides a great time to eat my take with me brekky and to read my bible.
This one particular morning I made it to Southern cross and I was freeeeezing. Rather than buy a coffee (my sister Tamara &I are trying to do a year of just drinking water) I brought my travel mug and asked the nice man at cafe vellunto for some hot water. As I walked past woolies (southern cross has everything!) I thought I'd stop in and see if there were any good deals on hot muffins or something. I saw Uncle Tobys oats in a cup, just add hot water for $2.20. I pondered it, but decided my hot water would do. As I was going down the escalator toward my train I saw some ladies in red handing something out. I walked over and got not one but 2 free Uncle Tobys oat cups. Since I already had my hot water, I added some mixed it up, and hopped on the train to enjoy some nice hot oats while watching the sun rise over the city. I guess I already have next weeks brekky planned.
