How do they KNOW?

7:15 Wake up. Brilliant sunshine

7:15 – 8:30 Coffee, breakfast, shower. Still brilliant sunshine.

8:45 Sky a pure, cerulean blue. Rashly put on shorts

8:46 First hazy cloud appears.

9:00 Load washing machine with bedlinen

9:01
Sun goes in

9:59 Washing machine finishes. Venture out onto front step with coffee and Review section of paper to enjoy return of sunshine and work on farmer’s tan while sheets spin

10:00 First rain falls.

It’s the precision of it that gets me…

    Doing the washing on a Sunday? Oh dear or dear!
    Have you never heard the saying “The One Above sees all”?

    Ah yes. On a lovely sunny day in Argyll (admittedly rare), if the heavens suddenly open and pour rain in biblical proportions for 30 minutes, you will know that I have spent that specific 30 minutes walking the dog! It does the same thing whatever the season and weather, it is always worse the minute I step outside. I must apologise to everyone who lives in Argyll – it’s my fault, sorry.

    JW – well if the One Above doesn’t want me to do laundry on a Sunday He should arrange for it to be sunny on a Saturday occasionally.
    Lynda – next time, could you let me know before you set out?
