Fate or Destiny ?

Last night the tempest raged again but when we got up the wind was gone, only the rain remained.

Something funny happened though. During the night, the roof of our shed got damaged.

Now, I could install an elephant in the midle of the living room, DH would go around it without noticing. That's another matter with the girls. Although there was no wind at all to make it obvious, as soon as I opened the garden door they spotted the difference immediately and rushed barking to the shed to make the " intruder " going away.

Today I want to briefly talk about one of my favorite topics: Fate and destiny. I think they are the most fascinating things to try and understand in human life.

Yesterday, DH asked me if I could pick up a piece of equipement for him in a shop. He said he called them and they had one left but when I asked if he has reserved he said no
( typical male wouldn't you say , lol ).
Anyway I jumped into the car to go there. I wanted to buy a thunderball ticket for the evening but I didn't want to take a chance of delaying my arrival and find out that the stuff had been bought by somebody else, so I drove there first, bought the item and got the Thunderball ticket on my way back.

Last night, I watched the results. I had 4 numbers, so I won £100. " Normal " people just would be happy ( what I am ) but I can't help asking myself  the question : I bought a luck dip so if I had bought it on my way there and not on my way back, I should have got different numbers. Theoritically, the winning numbers shouldn't have changed. So that means I wouldn't have won, but I did. So : Fate or Destiny ?


Project 365+1 - Day 120 : Lights

That's an interesting word and full of meaning to us. This morning w went to B&Q and I spotted ( ah ah ) these lights. They are gorgeous and change colors, very soothing.

When I say the topic lights is full of meaning to us, it is in a very strange way.
When I came to UK in 2000, the house we were renting must have had a problem with the electrical installation, because we were buying more bulbs that Sainsbury's was able to restock.
A year later we then moved to this house and believe it or not, it's the same. We have 5 spot lights in the kitchen, the 5 lamps are never ever on at the same time.

We buy halogen lamps as we need good light for our work but they just all burst after a couple of months.  The photo below is from our living room.

The one on the left broke, was repaired by DH and died again 1 week ago.
The one of the right is waiting for her turm to be repaired.
The one in the middle is the only one actually giving light, we bought it 3 days ago. We are so fed up that we even bought a replacement insurance in case it breaks.

It will either stop the breaking or it will bring B&Q to their knees. Watch the news in the next months . . .

Take care everybody, xxx
