Today's act of kindness was for the benefit of a friend. Our sons are both going on a school trip that requires them to be at school at 4.15am for departure. No point in two families having to get up ridiculously early, so I've offered the friend a sleepover so his parents can have a lie-in.
An aside - In 2010 our son went on a school trip and we took the opportunity to go to Istanbul as a couple - then the unpronounceable volcano in Iceland blew its top and we were delayed by a week. Without the kindness of friends and family who took our son in when he got back from skiing, this would have been a much more stressful experience. We've arranged a visit to Budapest to coincide with the latest school trip - hopefully we'll have better luck this time!
