OOO look at the sun

[MrGongGong]

OOOO look at the sun, shining so big in the sky
and look at the flowers so wonderful and fragrant
and look at the little lambs skipping in the fields ........

makes me want to sing

it's the world wonderful

it's all so wonderful

so truly wonderful

and the clouds skitting across the sky

[Northender]

You've made my day - thank you! (That WAS your intention, wasn't it?)

I think I may be able to see this strange phenomena?

Isn't there some folklore or something that says that, if it's sunny on St Swithin's Day, it means it's been raining for the previous 40 days and nights?

St Swithin / Swithun.

Dates are tricky tho', innit? 'cos if there were a truth that weather on 15 July was a good predictor, that date (15 July, translation of St Swithun) was before we lost all those days when we changed the calendar in 1752 ("Give us back the eleven days we was robbed of!!"). So probably we should wait until 26 July to see whether the weather is going to change...

But to make things more confusing, St Swithun was buried on 2 Jul; a St Albans calendar of 1149 still marks 2 July as his Feast day, and in continental Europe 2 July is still St Swithun's day - Stavanger cathedral is dedicated to him, where it is said -

"Syftesokdag
Setter skyen i lag,
det varer til olsokdag."

[On St Swithun's day
If the clouds are stacked
It lasts to St Olaf's day (29 July).]
