Library coincidences

I felt compelled to go to the library today.  It was one of those niggly, must go there but can't quite remember why feelings.

I didn't find the book I thought I wanted though.

On the other hand I spotted a sale table.  On top of which was a book that pretty much single-handedly inspired me to take up sewing - gee, I must have taken that out about 17 times already!  So I snapped that one up straight away.

And then I looked again.  There was a second book there seemingly waiting for me - I had taken it out a couple of times already.  It was about a man who had decided that he'd had enough of his 9-5 and so decided to change his life completely.

And then I looked at the notices.  There is going to be a talk by a local lady who announced to the world on her 50th birthday that she was going to cycle around the world on her own for two years.  I only read about her last week. 

Do I spot a theme here?
