For someone who celebrates serendipty and embraces the unexpected, I also love predictive Apps on my phone. Mostly weather related and yet predictions cannot always mitigate outcomes.

Despite this gloomy image from my new favourite weather app. Each morning I wake up and go to the Norwegian Meteorological Institutes Weather App just to see how my day might go. Even on gloomy days their predictions are more visually pleasing than other weather apps.

I have had to leave the house and walk, in rain, 3 times before 10:30 in the morning. So predictions can only inform but not always alter how the day will go.

Weather is one thing but actual life is quite another. If only there was an accurate Crystal Ball App. Yesterday’s predictions would have suggested an intimate tête-à-tête with a horse. See top image. But as no such App exists this was a complete surprise to me.

Me and horses are not a thing and yet somehow, even without a Crystal Ball App, I suspect horse encounters are going to be more frequent events.

It is a surprise I was not anticipating.
