Lightning, it seems, can strike twice. Rather incredibly, last night’s pub quiz had exactly the same result as last week. We won, for the second week in a row. This week the jackpot was £100, which, divided between the 6 of us, means I should be £16.66 better off, but the barman, rather dodgily, said he was not authorised to give us the cash. We should get it a week on Friday, when the landlord returns from holiday.

Whether we’ll ever see this money, I’m not sure, but I can’t believe our luck. Steve and Chris say I am lucky, but I just find it all highly amusing.
