On Swithun's day if it do rain/ for forty days it shall remain

It's S. Swithun's day (and also S. Bonaventura, but this is of less meteorological import): predict the weather for the next forty days now!

I am pleased to note that at the moment it's sunny and the sky is blue, but that it's rather cool than otherwise. It's welcome to stay like this!

Of course, the weather rhymes work even less reliably than they used to since they reformed the calendar - but I'm hoping it'll hold this year, anyway.

Fic post: "Homeward Bound"

Saw an interesting meme somewhere the other day: using the shuffle on your mp3 player, you get four random songs and write drabbles to go with them. I've done the first one, anyway, though it's inspired by the title, rather than the song. (Homeward Bound, by Simon and Garfunkel, and probably the best song ever inspired by a wet evening on a platform at Wigan station).

Mickey-centric, with spoilers for "Journey's End" (is there anyone out there who cares about it who can still be spoiled?).

Homeward Bound
( I suppose this is PG rather than U, for once. 200 words on the nose. )

The other songs were "Nothing Ever Happens" by Del Amitri, which is currently saying 'Donna' to me, "The Rocky Road to Dublin" by the Chieftains, which says nothing at all at present but ought to be fun, and "Without You" by Nilson, which is far too emo to appeal right now, especially after the others, but I suppose one ought to play fair with random generators.
