odds and ends
The bigger the pond that you work and play in, the more disturbing but magical coincidences become.
I don't believe in coincedence if defined to implicate a randomness. For me, just because I do not grasp a meaning doesn't mean there isn't one out there. i am not always that smart, or clued in!
On wednesday a woman in the hall meandered through my peripheral vision. I did not get an exact glimpse, but she reminded me of an ex-colleague, although one i did not know well. Later that evening i found out from a mutual friend that this ex-colleague's mother was dying of cancer.
I saw a man in my tube train, and again in the same day. He was down by the Thames, just walking and he passed me, having my lunch.
My friend Mel had been popping through my mind as well. I was wondering where in the world her choices had taken her, and what she was doing. Also, i was reading a book about being a chef at lunch, which reminded me of her recent ex-boyfriend (their dating took her over here for a few months late last year, which was great because we got to hang out) who was running a restaurant in Oxford. A few hours later, i received a call from a group of American guys just arrived in London for a few days, who were friends of Mel's. I am going to meet them tonight.
Strange days. Have you had a coincedence pop up recently?

Not recently... but I like it when things just fall into place. We got to Bucharest and I realised that I left the Lonely PLanet on the plane... so we had to suss things out ourselves. It was good though because we found some great finds through the people we met!
Not so much coincedences but tells you the nature of the beast...heard about jobs that I applied for and other other jobs that I hadn't from a colleague/competitor after she'd secured her interviews!
I've had many, and it always makes me wonder. About karma and such like. But then, coincidence is just... coincidence.
I wonder if I'll bump into you at the Tate Modern one day, Holly...
