Jane Dougherty Writes 
Calling in the rain…keep chanting! (K)
It’s getting desperate. So dry!
A wonderful call for rain, but dont worry Jane, we will get it, much more we want. Michael
Thanks Michael. When we get a lot of rain, the reservoirs can’t stock it all anyway. So much just runs away.
This i meant with “a lot of”. ;-( Its always the same problem. The climate change is showing very sad things. Today here i saw first time a locust, a grasshopper with 10 cm lenght.
Wow! I hope there was only one of them!
:-)) Just heared on France24 (en). Sunday was the France celebration of liberation from the Nazi terror. Very interesting because not even one German TV-station mentioned. 😉
It was low key here. The big celelbration is the Liberation of Paris. Nice was in the news because the first liberators were Spaniards, anti-Franco exiles who went in with just rifles before any tanks or blindés. De Gaulle obviously hated anything that smacked of Communism or even rebellion, for all his exhortations to his compatriots to take up arms. He sidelined all communist sympathisers after the Liberation and the Spanish troops never even got a thank you. It’s just time for a bit of recognition and gratitude.
Learned a lot form your description. Now i know why De Gaulle and Franz Joseph Strauß could be best friends. 😉
There’s always more to these ‘great men’ than their superficial reputation.
Oh yes! For FJS a lot of crime and redlight activities too. But for all his followers there is the RCC as the virtual “safe house”.
Not only virtual. How many fascist collabos and criminals have they harboured among the peaceful monks and all-forgiving we know best religious houses?
Sorry, i forgot. Yes, over the rat line and other ways. After the WWII there were more persons with brown jackets in Germany’s office like during the Nazireich.
Common criminals too, as long as they are devout Catholics. Just a few years ago we had a case, a man murdered his wife and four children, sealed their bodies in concrete beneath a new patio then disappeared. He just happened to be an intégriste Catholic. The first place the police thought to look for him was a local monastery…
Thats France!
Yes, at least their relationship with Rome is reasonably healthy.
Just watched Russia Today. From Ireland there seems to come new claims against the Vatican.
Good. The more the merrier!
Very lovely.
Thank you!
Welcome.
I like all the sounds in this poem. I hope you get a nice steady gentle rain soon. 🙂
Thank you. We were supposed to have two days of storms this week, but they’ve disappeared from the forecast. Just more sunshine.
I won’t wish you storms, but I hope you get rain. 🙂
I’ll take anything!
