Hedgehog Sun

A spiky yellow hedgehog takes the place of the sun

If the sun were a hedgehog,
it would sleep all the time,
because they are nocturnal.

Snow Woman

A snow woman who is very proud of her curves

Actually, most of us are women. Didn’t you notice my hour-glass figure?!

Snowflake

Sneaky snowflake

Im on ur road

Smallest Usable Unit of Tent

An umbrella is really just a tiny tent

The umbrella has too many sodden, shivery evenings associated with it. Camping, on the other hand, is attached to lots of happy memories and associations. From now on, I’m going to think of my umbrella as a tiny tent.

Changeable Weather

In Ireland they say you can get four seasons in a day

The weather is extremely unpredictable here. To cope with it all you’d have to wear thermal, waterproof, fur-lined, rubberised bikini.

Rain Coat

Rain drops keep fallin on my kidneys, you’ll catch your death

Pitter patter.

Lately I have been worried about the teenagers getting a cold in their kidneys at those open air concerts. I think I’m turning into my grandmother.

Cloud Tash

Suspiciously facial-hair shaped clouds drift casually in front of the sun

Strategically placed clouds can give the sun a makeover.

Sun Flower

Orange starlings flying around the sun like petals around a sunflower

For Mizagorn’s summer challenge.

Rain Amplifier

drip, drip, drip, DRIP, DRIP, DRIP

For the first half of the shower you’ll be fine; the tree will block the little raindrops from you and gather them up just to release bigger, fatter raindrops later when you least expect it.

Jack’s Laundry

An old sock hanging on the line at twilight, with the clouds scuttling by in the distance.

The sky was purple, like an old sock after a right nasty fight with a navy work shirt in the washing machine.
