Life’s like that

From Mr Paul Miller

Sir, Today I locked myself out of my house at 6.30am, accidentally ripped my shirt seconds before going into a meeting at work, and was unable to disembark from the train before the doors closed on my return journey home.

Is there any method to predict “one of those days” in order to determine whether it might not be better to stay in bed? Yours sincerely,

PAUL MILLER,

93 Loom Lane, Radlett,

Hertfordshire WD7 8NY.
