It's a small world.

I'm currently going through the fun but unenviable process of learning to drive. It's time to stand on my own four wheels and stop relying on public transport or, more commonly, my friends and family for a lift everywhere!

It's strange but every single driving lesson I have with my driving instructor, Billy, I seem to uncover new coincidences and I realise just how small the world is. For example, in the last 2 weeks I have discovered that he know about 4 people that I know, is a member of the BNI (a business networking organisation - see previous post) and today I discovered the most interesting secret....

You see, on Sunday evening I am performing my first Corporate Christmas Party of 2009. Right here in my home town of Sunderland I'll be performing for the staff and managers of Matalan, the well known clothing company. I'm looking forward to the show, which is the second gig I've booked this year from Facebook - how the world moves forward!

Anyway.. turns out that one of the students that Billy had out on the road earlier that day works for Matalan and proudly announced that they had a hypnotist booked for their party on Sunday... ME! It IS a small world.

So I'm set to take my first (and hopefully my last) driving test in the middle of January and its inspired me to do something massive... details coming in a couple of weeks!

I have a night off tonight after lots of shows and I've just heard on the grapevine that a hypnotist pal of mine is performing in the city centre so I'll go and meet my girlfriend, Jo, from work and tug her arm to come with me down to do some spyi... research by watching the show.. haha!

I'll report back about the Matalan party show on Sunday.. I'll try and make a short video documentary about the show for a vid blog post.

Hope you are having a lovely evening whatever you are up to and I'll speak to you very soon!

Till next time,
Kindest regards,
