Sometimes things happen with the worst possible timing possible.

The cloud system which provided the heavy rain, lightning and hail over the weekend is still with us – quietly soaking the Gold Coast. As I arrived at Robina Squash Club tonight, a young woman was stranded in the rain with a flat car battery, flat mobile phone and no wallet. I’m sure she wouldn’t have been quite so frazzled if it’d been a clear night or she’d had charge in her mobile or she had her wallet but that wasn’t the case tonight.

Fortunately for her, I happened to have a set of jumper leads which sorted out the immediate problem – which left her to resolve the ongoing respective flat batteries and no wallet issue.
