Saint Swithun

I'm not a religious or superstitious person, but this old wives tale better not be true!

Legend says that if it rains on St. Swithun's day (July 15th which is today), it will rain for the next 40 days straight. Apparently, he loved rain tons and wanted to be buried outside which he was. Peeps wanted to move him inside. Apparently, he was p@#$ about being moved inside and made it rain for 40 days so that it delayed the moving of his shrine.

Rain is pounding against the window right now :( I guess I better go replace my lost umbrella. Sigh.



P.S. Shout out to my friend Kate who informed me about this depressing legend. Way to cheer up the day KATE.
