Reluctant to start

Get out, poke under the bonnet for a few minutes, while swearing and sucking teeth. Get in, and looking resigned, try it.

If it starts, you've fixed it, otherwise, call the AA, who will likely repeat these steps, and then tow you to a garage :)

Seriously though. I would invest in a haynes manual for your car, and actually read the thing - at least the 'periodic maintainance' bits. Doing what it suggests will actually help prolong the life of your car, and the 'how it works' sections will give you some clue as to how it all works.

Do you have a fuel leak around the engine area???

If it was air would get into the lines when the engine is off, this would cause a delay when starting the day after???

Just a guess but, if you had a dicky fuel pump relay, slamming the bonnet down could have made it jump into life, as could poking it, hitting it or simply touching it by pure chance.
