Lucky day

I've been having an amazing stroke of luck over the last couple of days. Someone should rub me.

Yesterday I was at the pub and I went to pay for a pint of Young's Special for £2.50. I handed the barman £20, and he handed me back £27.50. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me, and I happily pocketed the £10 extra (including the free pint).

Then today I get a phonecall from Specsavers saying they've had to cancel my subscription to their contact lens by mail service because they no longer stock the ones I buy. So therefore I went into town today and picked up my next month's supply of lenses, and got a free contact lense check to boot. I've been meaning to cancel this anyway coz I'm moving into London, but it was great that this was all pre-empted.

Then I later found out that my friend Dan, who was in court today for a seatbelt violation, was found 'Not Guilty'. That was a pretty ace text to receive, which I got on the way to the Beer Festival at Earl's Court.

In the meantime of all this going on, I went for a fantastic fry-up at a place called The Breakfast Club with my friends Tom and Nicky. I then chilled in the park with Nicky, and then we made our way to Earl's Court for the beer fest. Then we headed back here, to go out with some of her mates. However, on the way, I received a text that Tony Wilson had died. This made me sad. He was only 57, and was responsible for making Manchester the home of dance music. I saw him in Turnmills a couple of years ago, and my mate chatted to him about Manchester United. He seemed like a nice
fellow.
