(1)shared birthdays (2)unexpected meeting

My neighbour and I share a remarkable series of birthday dates: 1. She and I are exactly 1 week apart. 2. Her (late) husband and my brother share 6th June. 3. My daughter and her son share 9th June. 4. My other daughter and her daughter share 25th November. 5. Her mother and my granddaughter share 30th November. Unexpected meeting: Pam and I live in the same village in Somerset, but our paths rarely cross, apart from when we consulted her about a forthcoming visit to South Africa, where she used to live. So we knew she would be in Cape Town at the same time in January 2009, but did not arrange to meet. As we explored the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, there she was! We had a coffee and remarked on the coincidence, but barely saw her during the rest of the year. However, we enjoyed South Africa so much that we decided to visit again in 2010 to see other areas but finishing up in Cape Town. Kirstenbosch was well worth a second visit, so off we went again, and could not believe our eyes when we spotted her again! She has a friend who lives not far from there, so that partly explains the situation, but it still seems a remarkable coincidence that we should bump into her twice!
