Which Law?

DSC02134

You may recall that a few days ago I ended a post with the comment ‘…as Punch would have said.’  Ever since then Mr Punch seems to crop up everywhere I go.  Yesterday CJ and I went to Port Sunlight and in the Museum Shop what was one of the first things I noticed?  A postcard with Mr Punch on it.  Now it is, of course, true that the postcard would have been there even if Mr Punch hadn’t raised his head in my consciousness and because I had him in my mind I’ve little doubt that is why he suddenly seems, by coincidence, to be appearing wherever I look.  We have Murphy’s law for things that, if they go wrong, they will.  Is there a name for this law?  Am I the only person to whom it seems to happen time and again?  Surely not.

Mr Punch

A few days ago I posted about my arrival here on The Wirral at CJ and Jo’s in Je suis arrivĂ©.  I ended it with a quote from Mr Punch of Punch and Judy fame.  I cannot recall when I last saw Punch and Judy but it must have been over 40 years ago so imagine the coincidence when CJ, Jo and I went to Erddig (about which I shall blog soon) yesterday and discovered that there was quite a lot of entertainment for children in the gardens including, you guessed it, a Punch and Judy show.  Anyway I managed to get a video of the famous line from Mr Punch “That’s the way to do it!” and this afternoon, whilst watching the British Grand Prix, I have learned how to use Picasa for MP4 videos (which is the format my camera uses and which Picasa does not recognise) and load them on to You-Tube.
