I've walked along the railway out of Alston and am at the Nook cafe at Epiacum roman fort, having tea and a teacake.
Killing time while Eve is at the Xmas fair in Alston Town Hall. I've also had one of those moments you just can't make up.
Along came a man on his mountain bike, stopped to chat and he is also a dry stone waller and, incredibly, has also suffered a Sub Arachnoid Haemorrhage.
He fell off his mountain bike, it was just high blood pressure with me. #Coincidence
“A kingdom’s fate is quite often decided by coincidence and happenstance and such small individual decisions.”

@Rachelburch Last night we viewed The hound of the Baskervilles. 😲
Quel rapport entre une histoire de princesses, d’ours et de bague 👸🐻💍, et quatre larrons partant en vendetta contre un gang de bikers 👨👨👦👦🔫🏍 ? Les coïncidences.
Dans ce film qui pourrait s’intituler “Biais de confirmation : the movie” avec un Mads Mikkelsen plus viril que jamais et combo actorat/réalisation proche de la perfection, Anders Thomas Jensen livre une vraie réflexion de fond à la croisée des genres. Mais bon, on va pas vous mentir, c’est surtout une comédie bien noire, et c’est jouissif 😏 !
“Riders of Justice” est disponible en SVOD sur Canal+ et en VOD sur les principales plateformes.
My home consumed exactly the same amount of electricity this week as it did the week before. The odds. 🤓
(At home both weeks and did very different things each week. Yet.)
I swear, I haven't stumbled over the English words don/donned so far. I only learned about them two days ago.
Since then, I came across it multiple times in different contexts: a movie, a comic, and a book. 😯
Halloween is right around the corner. Cover of my book, BEER POUR, blends in on the table of merchandise at Alecraft Brewery in PA.

#Coincidence. I plan my #reading at the start of the week, to neatly fill out my #koReader calendar. Novels are chosen for a balance of page lengths, shorter works for a mix of title lengths (most titles are two days wide, but I need a one or a three to add to seven).
One of the stories was "Quixote and the Windmill" by Poul Anderson (barely a three-wide). One of the novels was Toy Wars by Thomas Gondolfi about (it's complicated) a teddy bear's quest for peace.
Halfway through the book, purple Teddy 1499 decided to rename himself to "Don Quixote" (and his faithful pink elephant companion to "Sancho Panza").
hey you rapture specialists!
Has the rapture ever occurred on Rosh Hashanah before?
So, the #CharlieKirk #RememberanceDay might as well be the #GeorgeFloyd Rememberance Day since they share their #birthdays, 14 October
There is no such thing as #coincidence
Hai người phụ nữ cùng tuổi ở Hà Tĩnh đã vô tình dắt nhầm xe máy giống hệt nhau khi mua hàng. Công an xã đã giúp họ trao trả xe. Thật là một sự trùng hợp thú vị! 😮 #trunghop #xemay #hatinh #coincidence #motorbike #hatinhprovince #Vietnam

@ralphruthe Jokes, aside, it's an obvious #coincidence...
People are entirely too disbelieving of coincidence. They are far too ready to dismiss it and to build arcane structures of extremely rickety substance in order to avoid it. I, on the other hand, see coincidence everywhere as an inevitable consequence of the laws of probability, according to which having no unusual coincidence is far more unusual than any coincidence could possibly be.

The building where I got my first adult job later became a coffee house. It was there that I met my wife 22 years later. That was nearly 29 years ago. She also, amazingly, had moved from North Jersey to central Jersey into the same town I grew up in. And, somehow, her original personal ad stayed when she replaced it with a new one, because it was the combination that led me to contact her.
Anyone else find "meant to be" in that story?
Has anyone else ever had a #weird #coincidence where they #parked their #car next to an almost completely identical car, and then, 10 minutes later, spent almost a minute wondering why their #cardoor wouldn't open no matter how hard they pressed "unlock" on their key?
Or am I, as of today, a new member of a very exclusive club?
