Roll on the next Wednesday anyway.

And I was driving home and I just started talking to Ned in my head and I said, Ned, the house in West Cork is pie in the sky.

I said, it's in your hands now if it's going to happen.

Really, that was far-fetched.

And I just said, and by the way, too, I'm a bit strapped.

I could do with a bit of money.

Drove up into the house, went down to the hall and there was a letter on the floor and I picked it up.

And there was a cheque for over 600 euro from a client that I had totally forgotten, owed me money for years.

And you know, the strangest feeling went through me.

Like, is this really happening?

So I just knew there and then there was someone with me.

Went to bed that night, it was Wednesday and I always remember it was Holy Thursday the next Thursday that year.

They fell one after the other, Patrick's weekend.

And it happens to eat in the morning, a message came into my phone and I read it.

And it was our solicitor who happened to be a neighbour of ours as well when I was young.

And he said, Kathleen, he said, I don't know why I picked up your folder last night.

But he said, I just discovered your loan, life insurance, is not assigned to the mortgage.

You can do whatever you like with the money.

Jesus, I got up out of bed and I went down to the kitchen and I rang a friend of mine who was an auctioneer.

And I said, Tom, you're not going to believe this, I said.
