Yesterday, Blob had an incidence of Serendipitousness. (Unsure of that word but it's my blog.)

She was wandering through a London alley trying to find her nearest Boris Bike docking station so she could cycle back to Waterloo when she came across a hidden away shop called 'Planet Organic'. She was thrilled and brought home an organic frozen ready meal which turned out to be a delicious vegetable korma and rice, some organic and mild shampoo which will not remove the hairs natural oils and a voucher for a free coffee for the next time she passes which will be sometime next week.

This is serendipity in its truest sense.

However, wandering through Epsom following a hair cut and stoicly refusing to go into Starbucks for a hot chocolate and then discovering an Italian ice cream stall in the shopping centre is not serendipitous - it is unfortunate and greedy and Blob should be ashamed of herself.

Blob's main job this week is to book all her years holiday before the end of the month. If she manages it she gets an extra day off and to celebrate a week well done, next Sunday she is visiting Wisley to see the Butterfly exhibition in the Tropical House.
