Simone Young told a journalist the other day that she prepared very carefully for the interview by the senators of the city-state of Hamburg that recently clinched her position as chief conductor and director of the famous opera there. During the questions that followed her polished presentation, one asked her, "Is your English as good as your German?"

In a sometimes rough old world, it's good to hear this sort of story - edited from the parish paper of St Nicholas, Penrith: I was hungry and you fed me. About 7pm, the front doorbell rang at the parish house, and Gwen Nunn, in charge of pastoral care, answered. A young man, about 25, was standing there with a lovely smile. He said: "About three to four years ago, I came here because I was really hungry and had no money, and I was given a food parcel. Now I live in Canberra and have a good job and I am living well. I want to make a donation that may help others who come to your door." The donation was a $100 note.

We recently ran a series of unauthorised alterations to signs. But one sign has come our way that no one would want to see altered. "Hidden away in the countryside near Maidstone, Kent," says Jack Kissack, of Kincumber, "lies the village of Loose. Some years ago, on entering the village, you could see a large building bearing the proud, painted sign LOOSE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE Is it still there?"

Seven-year-old Alex, of Vaucluse, asked his mother, Jane Mathews, for a mobile. "Shocked, I railed about the evils of modern consumerism, how I didn't care if his friends had one, how maybe, if he was really good - and very lucky - he might get one when he was, say, 18, and how, aged seven, he didn't need one. All the while he was trying to interrupt me. He used to have one, he said, and that I'd made it. Ah. That kind of mobile. Contrite mother quickly starts making mobile to hang in his bedroom, knowing that once again the mother of the year award has eluded her."
