Meeting James at La Perouse
I was hiking at La Perouse with Gavin, Srini and Elna. As we walked, we spoke of Gavin's friend, James, who I knew well and liked very much. Gavin said he had asked James to come hiking with us that day, but that he had decided he wanted to do a solitary hike to sort some things out in his head. Half an hour later. we walked out onto an isolated headland to have some lunch. Suddenly who should appear but James! He said he had never hiked at La Perouse before but had decided to explore it on a whim. The chances of us doing the same hike and then meeting in this isolatied spot was mind boggling.
The NRMA service van
A few months later, I went birding at Barton Park near Botany Bay. I parked at an isolated parking spot well off the main road and walked into the park. After a couple of hours, as I walked back to the car, I remembered I had switched on my car lights on my early morning drive to the park and had forgotten to switch them off. I made mental peace with it as I returned to the car. When I reached the car, what should I discover, but an NRMA van parked right next to my car. There were no other car in the parking lot. The NRMA driver had parked there to have a short break. I asked him for a jump start and he willingly obliged.
