Flying home on Friday 13th

What notable things happened today?

Today we make our way back to Sydney from Manila via Hong Kong. I have to admit it’s a little bit spooky being on Friday the 13th, I actually had to think for a while before I booked the flights. I said to myself “don’t be silly, it will be fine”. Fingers crossed.

It was so sad to see the airplane crash yesterday from India to London shortly after takeoff and killing almost everyone instantly, only one survivor walked away. I wonder how he’s feeling? Scared, devastated, thankful, why me? A mixed bag of emotions I’m sure.

Praying today for a safe flight home. However, it really is only superstition that 13th is an unlucky number. Do you have any superstitions? For example, would you walk under a ladder? Does breaking a mirror give you seven years bad luck? I was reading before that in some cultures the number 13 is actually considered to be lucky and there is no evidence that bad things happen particularly on this date. Phew!
