I'd like to be thought of as 'kind'. And I'd hate ever to be thought of as 'mean'. But just one word is a bit restrictive. My dear old friend Pat, whom I admire very much, has lots of good qualities; she's wise, generous, diligent, gentle, innocent, modest, understanding, polite, popular, sensible... the list goes on. I love 'neighbourly', georgiansilver. Like you I remember when it was the norm. And 'generous' Ebbie is a lovely thing to be.
