You know when you’re putting a foot into your knickers, and your little toe gets caught, and you fall over sideways? Or is that just me. Anyway, this morning’s ungainly dressing experience aside, I’ve had a healthy dollop of good fortune recently. 

I bought a couple of fortune cookies the other day. Two, because it’s always good to have one in reserve in case you don’t like what the first one says. But actually, not only were both fortunes more than acceptable, the more I thought about it, I realised that a) they were more about the present than the future, and b) I didn’t really need to go all the way to the Chinese supermarket to find them. 

Basically, according to the indisputable authority that is the 75p fortune cookie, I will always have true friends around me, and I shouldn’t worry about the future, because time is on my side. I agree. I do have fantastic friends, so why would I choose to spend my time with anyone else? And time is on my side. I’m having quite a nice time, thank you. Right now, for example, I’ve just eaten a large pie and chips,  and it’s nearly bedtime. Who knows what will happen in the future? Anything could. No point worrying about that. But I know what’s happening now, and I like it. I might not get much insight into my future at the Chinese supermarket, but as a handy reminder of how good things are right now, that was £1.50 well spent.
