'God is *very* quick these days' (Blackadder Goes Forth)

So thought Mr Miff on Friday. He'd set off for a bike ride leaving me at home stewing over some job applications. As this involved me rehashing my CV at a moment's notice, I may have been a little less patient than I should have been and the other half was definitely on the snappy side as he left. Anyway, imagine my surprise on looking up from a smoking keyboard barely an hour later - to find that he was back already. Now, as Mr Miff is always at pains to explain, he does NOT believe in God. Absolutely not! No, no, no. Yet, as he's found a couple of times lately, co-incidences do have a habit of occurring. Fate maybe; call it what you will. As he pedalled his way through the leafy glades of sunny **** ********* he'd started to feel twinges of conscience about leaving me on my own. More so as over the next few miles, he first had problems with his brakes, then a mudguard fell off, followed by a pedal! So he'd no choice but to turn tail and cycle back home. Well, in as much as you can with only one pedal operational! 'God moves in mysterious ways, indeed!'

Then again maybe it's God's way of telling him to do his TDF shadow ride on a monocycle. ;)

More later. And yes, we did make up and go out for a drink afterwards. My God is definitely not the vengeful, OT sort.
