With my earnings I would head every evening to the Hakman’s Hotel to play tombola, hoping for a windfall. I always ended up losing, which actually is a pattern that has repeated itself in my life many times over, whenever I have attempted to get something for nothing. It’s almost as if nature is redressing the balance of having looked after the massive gamble that my life has turned out to be, and in which I have had moderate but highly satisfying winnings most of the time.
