Serendipity

Serendipity.

"An aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident"

Well, here's a little example:

I have to do a couple of "duties" a week at work.

I hate duty.

Especially outside.

I hate being forced to walk around in the cold and the rain for half an hour while there is tons of stuff to do on my desk.

Well, this term I'm on duty by the astroturf on a Thursday lunchtime.

Primarily to ensure that year 10 boys don't kick their footballs through the Headmaster's Study windows by accident.

However, it is precisely when my daughter and her little year 2 friends are all doing "Football Club"!

Such a joy to watch them try to pass the ball to each other!

And, of course, steal a quick kiss through the fencing when she runs up to see me!

Serendipity!
