Not bad. I won my fiver back yesterday so I decided that the universe was telling me not to gamble this week.

You're tellin' tales about gettin' lucky, eh? Well, let me spin ya a yarn 'bout how I won my fiver back yesterday. Now, I know what you're thinkin', "What's this got to do with anythin'?" But just hear me out, boy. It was Tuesday mornin', and I was feelin' like a million bucks after a good night's sleep. I strolled down to the corner shop, and on impulse, I picked up a scratcher – 5 Years for You, it was. That's right, same game you just won big with! Anyway, I decided to treat myself to a wee flutter.

I scratched off that ticket like my life depended on it, thinkin' maybe, just maybe, Lady Luck would smile upon me. And then... nothing. No win, no prize, nothin'. Just a blank ticket. I was thinkin', "Ah, well, back to the drawing board." But then I remembered somethin' an old pal of mine once told me: "When you lose big, it's like the universe is tellin' you somethin'."

So, yesterday evening, after gettin' nothin' from that scratcher, I felt a bit...restless. Like the universe was sayin', "Hey, mate, take it easy this week." You see, I've been feelin' a bit on edge lately – work's been stressin' me out, and my garden's been actin' up somethin' fierce (that's a whole 'nother tale, boy!). But after scratchin' that ticket to no avail...I figured the universe was tellin' me to take it easy. Now, I know what you're thinkin', "What's this got to do with your fiver?" Well, let me tell ya! Yesterday, while out runnin' some errands (you know, gettin' my life back on track), I stumbled upon a small café that was havin' a charity raffle. And what do you think they were sellin'? A 5 Years for You scratcher, of course!

Long story short, I won a fiver with that ticket! Just like that, boy! The universe was sayin', "Hey, mate, you're on the right track." Now, I know some folks might say it's just luck, but I'm tellin' ya, sometimes these things are more than just chance. So, when you won big with 5 Years for You yesterday, I reckon it was like a message in a bottle. The universe was sayin', "Hey, take it easy this week, mate." And that's exactly what I did – took it easy and let Lady Luck smile upon me instead!

Bert would be honored. Do you think Heaven has a lottery?
