The Twilight Zone

When my phone rang about 6pm this evening the man on the other end asked if I'd just phoned him. I said, "I don't know who you are, so no."

Just now (one hour later) it went again. This time it was my friend Jenny. We're meeting for lunch and an exhibition tomorrow, and I thought that was why she'd phoned. But no.

It had been her husband on his mobile. He missed a call and pressed the button to call back - and got me!

I don't have his mobile number. He doesn't have my number on his phone. Even Jenny doesn't have my home number on her phone.

Apparently my number descended out of the ether and placed itself in the "last number called" column.

When Jenny told John we are having lunch tomorrow the synchronicity nearly him freaked out.

Explanations, anyone?
