Tomorrow is St Swithin's day and legend has it
that if it rains on that day, it will rain for the
next 40 days and 40 nights.

Rain is forecast here for tomorrow!

Mike.

Hey, can you send some of this St. Swithin's stuff over to California?! I believe, I believe, I believe . . .

Sometimes it seems to work but other times it is questionable.

Scotland has lots of rain it could share. Although today is sunny!!

In the words of the apparently-not-such-a-good-guy-after-all Bill Cosby, "How long can you tread water?" (from his "Noah" routine if you're not a Bill Cosby fan...like I USED to be).

 

[Laurie]

Absolutely not, it's a load of rubbish.

I relay on the protection of The Old Ones to keep me safe!

 

[Linda]

I try to be open minded.

 

[Ameriscot]

I'm open-minded as well.

 

[Shalimar]

I try to have an open mind also.

I think there might be a originating back story to folk lore that morphed over the centuries to become the myths and legends that are still around today, but if we want to know where they came from we might have to take a university course in the subject.
