But then a couple of weeks ago we joined the local canoeing club and now he wants to go for it, minimum size seems to be planned at 20' :shock: we are going to need a larger car or something

'St. Swithin's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St. Swithin's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain nae mair.'

now let us all hope for a fair 15th july in the UK and Ireland !!!

my grandmother had a similar one here in switzerland - but our's is for pentecost sunday: "if it rains on pentecost sunday - it'll rain the next 7 sundays... the 7 weeks probably is because pentecost is 7 weeks (50 days) after easter sunday...

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	As long as you keep singing Lorchen ....the sun will eventually shine I think it's a great idea for you to build an ark. And you can take quilters on two by two (bringing our own machines of course), and we can have a quilting cruise while the planet floods and burns. You just need to cajole a few celebrity quilters to join us so that they can teach us some of their tricks and tips.

.... and look for a course about "How to Build an Ark" instead. The weather this year has been really weird here in the UK. The last four weeks, when we normally get a lot of sunshine, has been dominated by grey skies and lots and lots of rain. Local rivers keep overflowing, roads keep flooding, and local schools are cancelling events like 'Sports Day'.

I keep wanting to break out in song and treat the world to a very off key version of "I'm singing in the rain....."
