Weirdest coincidences you've ever experienced?

I've got one!

I've been trying to move for years because we're sooo isolated but circumstances and availability have seemingly worked in tandem against these plans! A short while back, I took the boys to a museum in the area I've been trying to relocate to (10 miles from current location) during our walk to the park afterwards, we took a short cut, found a wishing fountain we didn't know existed so my eldest threw a coin in, making a wish: "I wish we could find a new house" Life went on.

Over the last couple of months, I've been applying for, viewing and being rejected from (I have pets!) many potential new homes in various places around the area; it's been very stressful as the boys are really unhappy here and my eldest now attends school in the area we have been trying to move to. A new listing came up on Tuesday, applied straight away, viewed Wednesday. When I arrived, guess where it was? Right opposite the fountain! They had viewings before and after me so wasn't hopeful (people were literally waiting outside 😂)... but they called today to say they've paused viewings and would like to offer us the tenancy; I could literally throw a coin in the fountain from my new bedroom window! Needless to say, I've paid my holding deposit and we move in January 😊

I knew we had a topic somewhere!

My good lady is watching a murder series (poison tree?) on the telly.

Programme starts with a beautiful old green volvo estate, and then a meeting "on the beach" with a big black touareg.

My current and last cars, on the beach.


Seen volvo estates in so many murder mysteries...
 
Last night, the missus and I were putting the finishing touches to the new Lego USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, while watching some classic TNG episodes.
The final episode we watched was "Relics".

At the exact moment the instructions had us assemble the Guinan minifig, and put a green bottle in her hand, we got the scene where Data nicks a bottle from Guinan's private stash to offer Scotty, with the immortal line (and callback),
"What is it?"
"It is..." (Sniffs the bottle, shrugs) "It is green".

(I swiftly swapped the trans green round brick of the bottle for a square one, for accuracy.)
