It's July 15!

Happy St. Swithin's day!
St. Swithin (or Swithun) was the Bishop of Winchester back about 1,200 years ago. He was immortalized in the rhyme
St Swithun's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St Swithun's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain na mair
Well, there's no rain in Winchester today, so they can put away the umbrellas over there. At least until St. Bartholomew's Day.
