Strange meeting

What are the odds of meeting someone who you know comes to London in the summer but you know nothing about when exactly or where she lives? Not very high. Today I just bumped into a professor of drama from my university in a shoe shop which I only happened to pass by because I was changing buses. I stood there for a couple of minutes to make sure it was her, then went over to say hi. It was a very nice and strange coincidence. We chatted for a while about our department and people there, and she gave me her number. Well, it is a small world.

p.s.
this has to be the strangest and loveliest name for a bus stop I have seen so far: "Ye Olde Cherry Tree". It sounds like poetry to me. Isn't it nice?
