Why are things suddenly going so right? You’
ve heard my tale of the
Quest for the Ring: the E14 lampshade retainer? Well, yesterday, I went into a lighting shop on the off chance. Nice young lady behind the counter says she’ll have a look in the stock room. The long wait suggested hope against hope. But eventually she returned with a whole bag of the buggers. And not your crappy plastic like in the picture; but a grooved and molded superior E14. Said someone had ordered them by mistake!
Then this morning, I took a look at the
swale and decided it needed a trim. Big job that if I do the right thing and have a go at next door’s as well. I’d just pulled on the overalls and cranked up the line trimmer when a gang of blokes in orange
Minjup Shire jackets turned up with all their pro kit and did it for me.
If good (as well as bad) fortune comes in threes, I wonder what’s next? Knock on the door from Nicole
Kidman perhaps?
