- Its easy to make a sore head bleed.
A wet night brings a fine morning.
A Rainbow in the morn is a sign of a Storm
A Rainbow at night is the Shepherd's delight
Tis better to bear the Sting than stir the Swarm.
A shut mouth catches no flies.
When Poverty comes in at the door love flies out the window.
Its easy to be wise after.
Crying over spilt milk
Setting a thief to catch a thief.
The burnt child dreads the fire. - I believe that all birds are migratory.
The Blackbirds and Thrushes leave this country about August + go East probably across to England. A few years ago there was a dreadful storm of wind + rain and thousands of these birds were found dead around the Tuscar lighthouse. They were very scarce around here, for a long time after that.I have watched and studied the habits of birds for years + I believe that there is some connection between birds and the birthplace of Christ. They all move east + south anyway at the end of the Summer.
