My Lucky Day



Yesterday morno I drove Ingo to the hosp, found a place to park right away when coming back, walked to work with only 15 minutes later (06:15 am).
A start to a lucky day.

Sunday night I´d made some fried rice from leftovers - from the Sunday before (!) and heated that up in the company´s microwave.
I didn´t burn myself and I didn´t get sick (the rice smelled still ok, so I reckoned (rightfully) it´s still ok).

From work I took off to the hosp. It´s just 5 km from there and, my.
I got a Forrest-Gump-scene for sure!
With my backpack up front safely under the brolly I got wet from rain jumping from the ground to my knees!



Whilst walking fast I was warm and it was so beautiful. Did I ever mention I love summer rain? Ok, just 21C, but that´s warm enough.

Ingo was feeling ok, today they investigate further - I SO hope they find something and can do something about it, too!

When I started off home the rain was back, but, aw, well, nice and not for long, either.
The water really looked strange from the rain...



Here, unlike in Perth, you really have to watch your step:



And... well. That was a good reminder!
I found a 10-Euro-note!
Awesome, no?!
I near to NEVER find money! A note, dry, despite the rain - no person around, so I took it.
You think this was my luck? Yes, partly.



I stood at the red light and a man said, "hey, your backpack is open", using the casual "du".
And it was. Not just a bit, no, the backpack that served us so well in Perth... WIDE open.
Inside, due to the rain: HUAWEI, kindle, purse (usually not in the main part but up front).

Lesson learned: Every (!) backback gets a lock now.
250%, 16km, not a bad day.

Uh, and: Ingo not at home: Truffle-alarm, YUM!
I miss him dearly, though. It´s also again strange to be home alone.

Gorgeous green reflections Iris.. summer rain is wonderful, you know how long it is in-between here in Perth! Can't complain at the moment though we're getting quite a bit.. but it IS winter 😀 I love that expression 'find a coin and pick it up all the day you'll have good luck'.. image how much luck you'll have with a 10 Euro note! You really are doing well with your walking. Hope Ingo is home with you soon and feeling much better ✨

Yes, Grace, that expression of yours is pinned here at my desk - maybe that helped, too! :-)
Ingo still has a stent inside, they wanna remove it Thursday or Friday. So far they still don´t know what caused the pain...

I agree. I count any day a "lucky day", indeed, when I can find a parking place. :-)

Yeah. Awful, no...
