Door handles...
I don't know what it is about door handles, but they occasionally seem to trigger a moment of deja vu in me. I can't work out the first time this happened, nor the relevance of door handles, though.

Basically, sometimes (about twice a year recently) I will put my hand on a door handle (whilst looking at it) and just freeze on the spot for about half a second.

During that half second, I see an exact copy of what is about to happen play out in my mind.

The last time it happened, I could see me open the door and have a conversation with my wife about painting the living room. I thought that a little bit strange, as I've never discussed painting a living room with anyone. I opened the door in reality, and my wife was moving across the room in exactly the same way.

She said "Do you think we need to redecorate this room? Orange is a little bright!".

She then looked at me, and asked if I was alright as I looked as if I'd seen a ghost. I had just frozen again. I couldn't believe it. I don't know why, because I should be used to it now.

Bloody door handles. I long for the time when thumbprints are used to get into homes!
