33 is still very much in my life and still managing to surprise me.

A couple of weeks back I had a meeting planned with a large computer company in Ireland. When I arrived at the airport I was attracted to a very stylish pen - it was a Caran propelling pencil.It was marked up at £450 less 25% discount. I asked the lady to show it to me - it was heavy and strong so evenbeing the most expensive pencil I have ever touched it was now going to be mine."I will take some spared leads with that please" I said.So she wrapped the pen into a beautiful presentation box and gave me bill.

£333.99 !

When I got to Dublin I hired a car and at some random distance from the Airport I pressed the trip to see how far I would travel.I arrived at my destination and looked down at the trip.

33.3 miles exactly !

I went for my meeting and it went on for a long time.When I left the building - got into my car - and looked at my watch.

3.33pm

I now have my car number plate as Y333EEE

It makes me smile every time I see it.

I know this phenomenon is weird but I welcome it into my life - it has given me something beyond normal into an extra world of happiness and goodness.

That is the way I feel and I thought you all should know it.
