Hells Bells, (Helen) has made JR and I leek and potato soup, Mark is out and we don't eat until about 8pm which is really late for me, I've been up since 6 and had quite a stressful day, (stressed out anyway with work and then my lift to the airport was running super late then the flight etc. etc.) and so I'm rapidly falling asleep. I have however been freezing cold for most of the day but the soup is warming and delicious.
JR and I are home by 10pm. I wash my face, brush teeth and dive into my bed. I'm unconscious before I know it.
Friday morning and I wake after having slept like a log. It's freezing cold but it's a bright morning. After a leisurely breakfast followed by a power shower, God I love JR's guest shower, JR and I head out to Stansted House for lunch. We're early so we wander around the plant sale before taking a table in the Orangery. I order a pot of tea for JR and a coffee for me and the snow begins to fall. I take out my phone to take a picture and I have a missed call from my ex manager at work. Probably a pocket dial but unlikely so I text; "Hi, did you mean to call me or was it a mistake? Call me if you need me."
Message comes back to me immediately; "You've won half of the work charity lottery." I've won £527, can you believe it Col? Was already planning new kitchen, hopefully Summer time and so this is going to my kitchen fund. I have to keep stopping myself from saying "I can't believe it!" Because apparently that sends all the wrong signals into the Universe. (I know what you're thinking but I, well, I've been reading a lot about this stuff and I'm willing to keep an open mind... just in cases ;) And, this next bit is going to sound a bit odd as I'm pre disposed to thinking, "that's not going to happen" or leaning towards the negative when it involves me, but I actually thought I was going to win it the week before, had a really strong feeling but then there were no winners and then I had the worst week in work and then I was I was on holiday and didn't give that Friday a second thought. What do you make of that?
