Good Saturday

I think it is fair to say that Saturday was a good day.

I'm up relatively early and need to go for a haircut. Luckily, to get to the place I go to, I have to walk along part of the inner ring road. The ring road is good as it is busy, there are lots of cars, and you get to pass a few car parks too. To recap, I'm looking for 22 at this point. In the car park on Nunnery Lane, I spot a 23 parked on the far side. Darn, slightly too early. A 23 is as much use to me now as a condom is to The Pope. But I'll be coming back this way once I've been shorn, so as long as it's still there I'll get an easy spot if I manage the 22.

But sadly, there is no 22 on the way to the haircut, there is no 22 during the haircut and there is no 22 before I arrive back at Nunnery Lane car park, where the 23 is still sitting, looking smug. Never mind, onwards to home. As I near the flat, this is starting to feel like it's been a wasted journey. But then, as I reach the flat... No, still nothing.

At lunchtime I head into town to meet some friends for lunch. About 50m from the flat, at 12:47, a vile lime green thing brums past with a lovely 22 stuck in the place I need it to be. Hooray! I'll be smiling through lunch now!

In the evening, I'm going to J's to try and win £40k. But I'm also hoping that the trip will bring me something better than mere money - he's about a half hour walk from me, and there is another car park on the way too. The car park is useless, but on Grosvenor Terrace, a blue car, it's 23! Excellent. And later I see... another 23! That's three in one day now, even though I can only use one of them. Strangely, I spot the blue 23 at exactly 23 minutes to seven...

I stay at J's until around half past one in the morning. Quite late, especially as I've got stuff to do tomorrow. Never mind. At this time the roads are fairly quiet. As most people are quite sensibly in bed. So I'm not too hopeful of finding more. But as I pass the railway museum, a taxi zooms past with a 24. I have to look several times to believe my luck. It's definitely a 24. Whooooooh-hooooooh!!!! And so to bed, for happy dreams. 3 cars on a Saturday: Result.
