…There would be one each time, a different number and suit, just leaning against the window at floor level. I never saw a court card, mainly high number cards.
I thought that maybe a street magician had a friend on the inside who was helping with a card-thru-window trick, but it wouldn’t make sense for a large financial institution to play games inside their own building….

Between Three Bridges and Haywards Heath
….We looked from the window down at the stubble in the field below. As the light framed a patch of weeds the girl began to say how she had fond memories of collecting the dry thistle-heads as a child. We both turned and looked out across the field. I was just think long of what to say, and for a split second my eyes refocused on our reflection in the window.

Odd Bird &tc.
…Later in the day, apropos of nothing, I suddenly realised it was a Eurasian Woodcock, although I don’t know where I learned that.
I have never seen a woodcock before, and If I was ever going to I would have thought it would be on a rural heath, rather than on the clean flagstones under the Ludgate building….
A Field in England
While cycling in the countryside in June I saw a middle aged man kneeling in an empty field. His back was to me but I could see him tidying something away into a satchel. I thought he could have been a metal detectorist or a geo cacher….
Classic Flying Saucer
I was gazing out of a window in my home with my sibling when something caught our eye. Directly in our line of sight was a UFO. A classic flying saucer. It had a rotating light that quickly orbited the craft twice, before it glided away (as if on an invisible surface or following a hidden path)….
