So much is unlikely in life that perhaps the unlikely becomes quite the opposite – likely. Perhaps that which is likely is in reality unlikely and perhaps nothing is unlikely at all – if you take a personality you know those that are likely to do the unlikely and those that will take no risks at all and therefore do everything that is likely. Unanticipated is possibly an apter name for the photos I am displaying as unexpected.

I certainly did not expect to hike through the Australian bush with a girl, gun in hand, who unknown to me at the time was my then boyfriends new girlfriend. She knew it – was the gun giving me an unlikely warning?

Also unlikely was the attire of my friend I was meeting up with for coffee at a coffee shop in the CBD of Sydney city. Why the mask and snorkel – I’d told him I’d meet him under the dolphin (not visible in this photo).

Certainly unlikely was do agility training in a country not my own (Switzerland) with a dog not my own. Unlikely but a lot of fun.

Perhaps the most unlikely event in my life was living on a remote island in the Pacific with an active volcano. This bit of unlikeliness has led to so many unlikely things, in fact the rest of my life has followed as a result of this event. Becoming a farmer, a general store proprietor, a writer, completing my masters and this year publishing my book. These would have all been unlikely had it not been for living on Tanna.
