Serendipity Again

 Eunice came and went and left very little mark on Trelawnyd yesterday.

I wasn’t woken by the wind but by worrying that overnight 8 thousand pounds had been deposited into my current account without my knowledge and not long after I had tried to sleep for an hour or so after getting home, I got up and rang the nhs pensions department in order to clarify why they had sent me the money .

The young man who eventually answered my call, laughed in genuine good humour.

My former nhs employer had processed my pension incorrectly and I was being recompensed for the mistake

Again when it has come to money 

Serendipity has chosen some brilliant timing in my recent life and she’s her stuff just when I needed it.

This is the third time in so many years that good fortune has smiled on me when I’ve needed money the most. 

Not having to scrimp and save for things like I’ve had to do with the chimney repairs is wonderfully satisfying. 

I’ve paid off my overdraft, my credit card bill and have deposited the rest into my savings account while I do some thinking…..

How lucky am I 

Hey ho

Inequity

If you are a Syrian refugee, seeking asylum in Great Britain, you have to buy a berth on a crowded inflatable boat. You climb aboard before dawn on a beach on the north coast of France. Many of you are forced aboard by people smugglers. You are frightened but hope that you will make it into British waters. Later, the authorities will process you and the lengthy asylum granting process will begin. You will have little money and officially at least you won't be allowed to work. The years ahead will be quite miserable.

If you are a rich Russian oligarch, seeking a new home in England, you will fly in aboard a private jet. Then a chauffeur-driven car will whisk you away to an expensive hotel or to the luxurious mansion you bought ahead of time.  Nobody will investigate your finances, focusing on how you actually accrued that wealth. You will have a special visa giving you residency rights and soon you will be visiting Ascot or mingling with other oligarchs in Michelin starred restaurants. Your children will attend the best fee-paying schools. The years ahead will be fine and dandy.

Friday fun

 Off of my latest post. I will go back to posting as I’m led. What I’m being led to do now is a little more fun

Getting to know Regine

My favorite NFL player- Peyton Manning. I asked my sister for his jersey for Christmas. It still hangs in my closet. It’s the Colts jersey. 

My go to song is James Taylor Fire and Rain

I love collecting stationery and stickers

Landing in Venice Italy in dense fog in frigid February is a memory I treasure. 

I like ordering the weirdest options on the menu at restaurants. Almost always I regret ordering them. 

I’m sucked into playing Wordle every day. 

Will you play along?

Friday

 I am slowly coming back to this. I need to share the unsavory of my life. I can’t let others’ negativity dictate what I need to share. I’ve strayed from my mission. I don’t have passion for what I’m posting now. I’ve been dimming my light. I can’t do it anymore. If there’s a comment I don’t like, I will read it, and see if has merit. If it doesn’t. Im praying for you. You are hurting. My words haven’t hurt you, something else is. God bless you all.
