Perfect timing?

Timing. It’s good to get it right, and can be disastrous (at times!) if a split second out.

One aspect of great timing I love is synchronicity, and the synchronistic events I experience regularly. I always say that these occurrences are the Universe’s way of telling me that I’m in the right place at the right time. Simple things such as me reading a word at the very same time someone else says it; or the latest synchronistic event I experience at present, at road junctions.

I’ve noticed that whenever I either reach a junction or drive passed one, another vehicle arrives at it at the very same time as me. If I need to drive out of a junction, I always have to wait for a car to pass before I can do so. And if I drive passed a junction, there is always a car that arrives and has to wait for me to pass before it can do so. I’ve noticed this for the last couple of days, but can guarantee that this has happened at every single junction since Monday at least.

It’s very peculiar, the things you suddenly start to notice at times.

Yes, I know that the chances are quite high that, due to the amount of traffic on the roads nowadays, it is likely that there will be another car at another junction at some time or other, but equally high are the chances that there will not be a car there… this week, I’ve ‘met’ another vehicle at every single junction I pass, whatever time of day I pass it.

…Just rambling, really.

My letter to the Universe yesterday worked, I’m pleased to say, although I didn’t doubt that it would. I didn’t experience a single dillop on the roads today, and there were a fair few motorists driving pleasantly, which really makes all the difference. A little more courtesy on the roads goes a very long way. I’m grateful the Universe helped me with this request, and I would like this to continue indefinitely, if you could be so kind, Universe.

Speaking of yesterday’s letter, the weather today has also been lovely. Just the warm sunshine, with a gentle breeze, and not a lick of an out of season hailstorm in sight. Fabulous.

My third part of the letter referred to my television. I have an extra thing to add here, which actually ties in with the title of today’s post, ‘perfect timing’. Although, perfect for who remains to be seen.

I enjoy watching TV with my evening meal. It helps me to relax watching quiz shows with questions I can’t answer, mixed in with questions where the answers remind me of something that I meant to do before I sat down – synchronicity again, and all that.

The point I need to get to, however, is the adverts. Always at teatime do they show either an image of ear-wax being dissolved, somebody shaving flakes of dead skin off the heel of their foot, or somebody with an advanced fungal toenail infection applying the latest cream or whatnot. Now, I’m well aware that these products need to be advertised, and where there is no perfect time for such products, the least perfect time must be when one is about to tuck into a bacon, lettuce and tomato butty.

You’d think in this day and age, and with the wonders of modern digital TV technology, they’d come up with a feature where you press the blue button during an unsavoury advert which removes the advert from the screen, and remembers that we don’t like that advert so never shows it again. The screen time can be filled with a blue screen or static – I don’t mind – as long as I can eat and manage to swallow at the same time without being put off by a ghastly image.

Or maybe I’m ahead of technology here. There may never be a perfect time for such a device… I can hear the advertisers of the world saying.
