Unexpected Good Fortune
Travelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

I was on night shifts, but had to get up early so I could let the engineer in to come and fix my brand new unused BOSCH washing machine, which, when delivered, it seemed was borked.
He turned up at 12:30, (the 'arrival window' I'd been given was 12-5pm) leaving me with a decent chance to grab some naps once he'd gone. Bonus. He couldn't fix the washer, but he left at half 1, leaving me to grab a good 5 hour's quality kip and thus survive work that night. Then when I got up at 18:30 to dash to work, the postman had been, and I'd won £50 on the premium bonds!
