Suits you, sir

What’s the weirdest coincidence you’ve ever experienced?

Rushing, up against time, I left my suit jacket at home, 25 miles away with 15 minutes before giving a presentation.

I walked into a charity shop 100 yards away from the venue. The first jacket on the first rack not only fitted perfectly, but it was also a perfect match for the suit, right down to the material and colour.

Someone must have been looking after me that day.

Ten Ways to Tell that You’ve Had a Successful Summer Recess

Pen y Fan

You know you’ve had a successful summer recess when:

1. You spent less time in the emergency room this year than last year
2. Your house looks like Genghis Khan rode through
3. You have bright, shiny new graffiti on your walls
4. Your laundry is threatening to break out of the laundry room
5. You still can’t find where that smell is coming from
6. Your cupboards are bare
7. Your neighbours are still talking to you
8. You managed to put together an acceptable school uniform
9. You opened your last jar of coffee on the day they went back to school
10. And despite all that, all you can think about is going back to bed to catch up on some sleep!

Congratulations. You’re a survivor.
