Observing, several wheelie bins positioned near the road, I correctly predicted - surprise surprise - a bin lorry, a couple of miles further on completely, albeit temporarily, blocking the road.
Not too far after that, several cars pulled up on the verge: I predicted dog walkers. I was rewarded, just around the next bend, with a woman struggling to hang on to two alsatians by their collars.
There was a time I might have been irritated by the inconvenience of impassable bin lorries or wayward dogs. But, actually I got a smug pleasure from having my predictions come true.
Maybe I should get out more: hang on, I was out.
