August Heat

This is one of my favourite short stories by W.F. Harvey. I am an absolute summer-lover. However sometimes, when it goes over 40 degrees, I think the heat does make everyone slightly mad.

The Cat and the Fiddle

Some days your mind works overtime and links your past with the present to thoughts about the future. I was thinking how life is similar to one of my favourite nursery rhymes "The Cat and the Fiddle" - you never know what comes next...but whatever does come, always fits in somehow.
For those who are not familiar with the rhyme:

heyy diddle diddle
the cat and the fiddle
the cow jumped over the moon
the little dog laughed
to see such sport
and the dish ran away with the spoon.
