Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 19, 2018

if you had a brolly, Andy, you’d be home already

Any pub in a storm, eh Andy!

It’s only one drop, for goodness sake.

Love Jack’s knowing smile..

That’s our Andy – a man of his word… not!

What a drip.

Or the moonlight (he might get lost), or the snow, etc.!

And while it’s raining, Jack will be pouring. (Or maybe tapping.)

Hey, a poor excuse is better than none.

Rain, canal…. what’s the difference?

Cow chips are worth more than Andy’s promises.

Reminds me of the Construction Chalk Circle.

For those of you who don’t know what that is…. the guys on a construction site ( this was particularly true of iron workers and roofers ), if they suspected impending rain, would draw a circle on the ground and if more then two drops landed in it, they’d call off the job on account of rain.

Has anyone considered the possibility that that wasn’t a drop of rain?

We’re having a storm right now. “Storm Ali” it’s called.

I was brave enough to go out today but it’s a duvet day tomorrow.

@Afficionado

Change of plan, I’m going to attempt to give blood again on Monday. I managed to get the last appointment. I’m going with one of my cousins. She suggested I phone them instead of looking on the website for any cancellations and it worked.

Hope you are well.

I don’t really mind the rain. As long as I’ve got a good umbrella, it’s fine with me.

Went to the Zoo yesterday. Got to pet a goat. Also saw rhinos being fed and saw a lion up close.

I see a lone cloud and the rest of the sky is clear. Perhaps that wasn’t a raindrop, after all. A bird?
