Arrgghhh! St Swithin
You cad, you bounder, you......
Steady on, Orchi, says Fido
Why all this outburst?
Well, if it rains on his day today (15th July)
It may rain for 40 days after
We've had it if it does!!
But, says Fido, no worries
You don't believe in superstitions anyway, Orchi
So it won't affect you
Phew, good job you remined me of that, Fido
And I really must not stay in all day
When it's a Friday the 13th
Not that I do
Cos Fido always needs his daily walk
We need the rain though
Erm, just some - not 40 days of it
Just some of the 'soft refreshing rain'
As a Harvest hymn says
(We plough the fields and scatter)
In the time of Noah's Ark it rained for a year - argghhh!
Doh! I got it wrong
Fido was driving the tractor one year
Another talent of his
But I scattered them seeds first
Then ploughed them all up
Mucked up the whole thing!
Some mad musings here
Come meet Fido one day
He's imaginary though! lol.

Toofless smiles.
Thanks CB. lol.
Now this is interesting, Fido seems to be the voice of reason here. Have I discovered what everyone else already knows? Fido is your alter ego? Send me his dimensions and I'll whip a cape and mask, he deserves no less. As for you my friend, I think a good sense of silliness, in addition to humor, is essential to the creative process, keep it up, loving it.
Thanks Bella. lol.
Good fun write Orchi, at least I hope you weren't singing on St Swithins Day!

Thanks Gold. Nope, had a day off, so I didn't tempt it to rain. We need it though at the moment.
