Bad luck: I dunked a choc chip cookie in a mug of mint tea just now and it broke off and there are lots of bits of soggy bisuit swirling in the mug. I haven't done that for years.
Good luck: A few days ago there was a storm and some large branches ended up in the pool. I was trying to pull one out and I fell backwards on my arse, landing on a rusty metal spike sticking 3 inches out of the ground. It ripped a hole in my shorts and tore the skin on my right but-tock. The good news is that it was not 3 inches to the left and so did not cause horrific and untold damage to my delicate ring piece which would have almost certainly required hideously embarrassing and possibly newsworthy attention at the local A&E.
