The Weather Forecaster.

[Samsmum]

Hi there!
David and I went to Paris for a few days last weekend - the weather was 28oC. I like it just warm, but last weekend I thought I would melt! A friend of ours who lives in Paris e-mailed me the day after we left, to say he had just had a real drenching!! What variety we get.
Thought you might like this little poem I wrote to enter for a local Arts and Crafts Exhibition (and guess what - I won!!)
The Weather Forecaster.
I try so hard to understand
The vagaries of our weather,
But somehow nature won't comply
And I can't get things together.
It's going to rain the next two days -
Could even last a fortnight -
So one way or another,
I hope to get it right!

We might have storms tomorrow,
With thunder, lightening too,
On the other hand we might not -
The sky could still be blue!
There's snow about up in the hills,
And in the valleys low;
We could have brilliant sunshine -
I really do not know.

We had ground frost last Thursday
When I predicted showers;
I gazed around my garden -
The chill had killed my flowers.
We haven't had much sunshine
So I think we're due for some,
But please do not be too surprised
If the sunshine doesn't come4.

I thought that Spring had just arrived
As the birds burst into song,
But then we had some sleet and snow -
Again I got it wrong.
I'm sick of weather forecasts;
The whole thing is a mess;
The state of English weather
Is anybody's guess.

I couldn't get predictions right
However much I tried,
So I'm packing in this irksome job
And salvaging my pride!

It's a bit grey to-day, but maybe some sunshine this afternoon.
Hope you are all well and enjoying the company of your
lovely Goldens, as I am with Sam.
Best wishes - Samsmum (Joyce).

You certainly got that right Joyce.

We've had the lot this last week, stripping off lastweekend, Back to thermals this. Heating and leccy blanket on these past few days!!!! Oh, and wellies back out.

The poem is right. We could all be weather forcasters as the law of averages says we would get it right sometime. Which is what they do " Get it right sometime"

My wellies and thermals have never been put away yet. Lynn

Hi Jan,
Is it an age thing? I go out with long sleeves, fleece cardi and water proof jacket. Bound to meet a youngster in a vest t-shirt. Brrrr, don't do cold or red hot these days.
