No Striking Up a Light Tonight


Went to buy a lighter as we couldn't find one in the house. Got to the shop and it was shut. I arrived there at 08:35 and it shut as 08:30. I could see someone in there so I knocked on the door. The woman opened the door and told me something I already knew that she was closed. I asked if she could sell me a lighter, but she refused saying that she had taken all today's takings and couldn't do any more business. All the other shops were shut in the area and no lighter or matches to strike up a cigarette and no one about to get a light off either. We only had a microwave in the house which was no use either. So no one about no shops open and no facilities to make a flame anywhere. There were no cigarettes smoked tonight.




The following morning we found a lighter, it was in the packet of cigarettes!!

Rain At The Wrong Time

Worked all day under cover, no rain! The only time I was exposed outside was with a ten minute walk to the car to get back home, guess what? Yes, it rained for the whole of that ten minutes and stopped when I got into the car! Bad Luck? It has to be!
