Today I learned that there is a piece of old lore that says that if you do not hear the cuckoo call then you will not make it through to the year's end.

Should I start getting worried yet?
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard one this year.
going to pretend then that the pigeons I can hear are cuckoos!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have cuckoos in our area and we're still alive.

Argh. Don't say that I haven't heard one yet.
ReplyDeleteThat saying is oddly odd -- I am very old and have never heard the cuckoos call but I am still on this side of heaven. I think I will go back to my knitting and the cats and not worry about the cuckoos !!!
ReplyDeleteThats me doomed
ReplyDeleteIs there a time frame for hearing it? What if you don't hear it until December 31st?!
ReplyDeleteHeard plenty of cuckoos for the last couple of weeks, didn't know that could be a good omen, so far I felt as if they nagged me telling me that they won't have any baby-sitting issues ;D
