Day 381: Satellite Delay

It's a sign

Get This:
So, up I got at 5.32, one snooze after my alarm (sounds like an idiom for someone who's a bit spacey). Megabus to catch, power drink to make (my first - wasn't as good as Daniel's, but he's a pro) and paint trays to clean, because I only remembered to do them late last night and they were being all stubborn, so I soaked them.* 

I was a little later out of the door than planned, so I scrapped my plan to walk the long (and better lit) way round to the coach stop and took the shortcut. it was about 6.25 in the morning. I noticed a person walking in front of me. I noticed that she'd noticed me and I sensed that she was scared. It's early in the morning and there's nobody about - you hear someone yomping along behind you like I was and you can get scared. That's why I was going to take the long way round - I was scared of being scared.

Durga - it's a long story

I knew quite quickly who it was, this person, even though I've only seen her once before. I thought I knew, anyway. When I got parallel, I said 'Good morning.' Whoever it was going to be, that usually puts people at their ease. And yes, it was her. It was my lady from St. Leonard's with the life-changing messages. She said 'Oh, it's you! I was scared' and I said 'I knew it was you' and then we chatted a bit. She gave me another couple of gems. We held each other's hands and thanked each other. Then we said goodbye. 

A little bit of universe

I'm a little bit blown away. How likely is that? Honestly - how likely? 

=====
This is from Monday morning. So many happy things have happened in between... let's catch up tomorrow.

* Don't be stubborn with me, or I'll soak you. Take that as you will.
