Saturday Synchronicity

Here we are again dear readers of Wear and Dao another weekend of synchronicity or coincidence depending on your point of view. Since it's already late let's make this brief and precis the points alluded to today according to the kind visitors who popped in today.

Lunch was eaten peacefully enough, then the door bell rang and an unexpected visitor, the district nurse no less, revealed her schedule for the day. Her task is to ensure her patients are OK and the patient's carer too. Most of the visit consisted of her typing on her laptop listening to our requests patiently  and making informal comments since she's very gregarious  and her background turned out to be Hebburn near Jarrow where coincidentally the caring nurse in the room once lived and whose aged mother still resides, not to mention her sister and brother. Coincidence or Synchronicity? You decide dear readers!

Next up in the sychronicity stakes, Jules and Peter next door neighbours at the Retreat House rang the bell to announce their arrival to discuss the sale of the Retreat House to release some cash to fund the move to the bungalow over the road from the rented house with the convenience of a bathroom and toilet  downstairs. However, dear readers, our visitors rang before their agreed time enabling the current occupants to manage our schedule better, though whether that counts as synchronicity or serendipity is up to you to decide!

Next through the door was Howard, an early member of A Place to Be, which found it's first base in rented accommodation  down by the river in Stanhope and he came on the scene when running a social enterprise in a walled garden and your old blogger was rather younger earning money in different ways including writing business plans at £1k. Good money for someone rather unsuccessfuly running his own social enterprise.  Never mind, we were commissioned to write it and write it we did, and did our level best to add value. What has all this guff has to do with Saturday Synchronity is unclear but the evening conversation was certainly deep and meaningful since Howard's another philosopher with ideas to share which certainly sounds synchronistic or serendipitous to your old blogger.

That's today done and dusted, tomorrow is the second day this weekend as Palm Sunday announces Jesus Christ being welcomed into Jerusalem by the crowds of Christians laying palms in the road. As for Monday in Holy Week it seems there's no Palm Monday so please consult practicing Christians  and let the heathens know...
