Tongue in cheek

I had a rather important meeting this morning about an hour's drive away. However, when I got to the car, my rear tyre was completely flat. It wasn't possible to even drive to the garage to charm the mechanic into fixing it. So I did that thing for which I despise other women - I called my husband to come and sort it. Well, it had one of those complicated locking wheel nut things and I had no idea what the required tool even looked like far less being able to find it!

As I said the meeting was quite important. I managed to get a message relayed so there was no real harm done - I arrived just a little late. But, sometimes, when things like that happen I find myself asking - Is this the work of God or the work of the devil? - Upbringing always comes out! And the answer is - there really isn't much to choose between them. It could be an obstacle placed in my path by the devil because I'm doing the right thing or an obstacle placed in my path by God because I'm doing the wrong thing. Get my drift? How does one determine which it is? Or is it best just to forget it and put it down to the law of averages, sod's law or whatever? Does it really matter? The end result was a hefty bill for two new tyres by the day's end. Now that definitely is the work of the devil!!!
