27 May - 2 June 2013
It's raining hard here. In the German language it's raining string (es regnet Bindfäden), throughout the world it would be raining boats and casks, wheelbarrows, shoemakers' apprentices, frogs, nails, chairlegs, fire and brimstone, cobblers' knives, earth and sand, female trolls, toads' beards, tractors, husbands, old ladies, sticks, knives and forks, and in China it would be raining dog poo. The cats and dogs that have been raining here for the last week are flushing the moles and mice out of their holes so it looks as if it's raining rodents.
