NOT TO MENTION, FATHER'S "TIMING"..?
So. "LABOUR-DAY-WEEKEND" - [BTW, "HAPPY" That!] - and, *Another* of OTTAWA's FEW Weather-CONSTANTS... "WHY?"
well... Because of the 4-Day GATINEAU - [IT's just across the River] - HOT-AIR BALLOON **FESTIVAL**, of course!! - Which, *IF* THEY're "Lucky", *might* get a HANDFUL of AIRTIME *BEFORE* the Usual-ANNUAL-*STORMY*-WEATHER comes through...
But, IT gets "better"... AS *Tomorrow* is **PAPER**-RECYCLING-PICKUP-DAY! -- IT *always* RAINS Overnight and/or ON the Morning of "PAPER-DAY"...
FATHER put IT "Out" during the MID-Afternoon, *after* doing some Yard-Work - instead of after SUPPER... Meanwhile, MOTHER was *about* to "Hang" a Load of LAUNDRY OUT - [yet another, Weather-Maker around HERE...], when FATHER Noticed the DARK CLOUDS headed THIS WAY! - [via *GATINEAU*!]
A Minute AFTER THEY came IN, a DOWNPOUR, LIGHTNING, THUNDER, *quickly* FILLING BUCKETS of SUDDENLY-*SOGGY*-YARD-WASTE-and-RECYCLED-PAPER!!
I *knew* He should of Waited until LATER... The METEOROLOGICAL-BIBLICAL-*ness* only lasted for about an Hour! - Just long enough to pretty much RUIN EVERYONE's Day!
As for Myself, I spent *most* of IT CUTTING-UP "PAPERS"! - My RIGHT-THUMB is somewhat NUMB from Scissor-USE! - Took Longer than I Thought IT would... I *had* "planned" on making an Assault upon "THE ROOM" in SEARCH of Needed YARN...
oh well...
