Shepherd's Warning.

Red sky at night is the shepherd’s delight,
Red sky in the morning is the shepherd’s warning. 

Woke at five to go to the loo and caught the dawn sky. Turned out it was a shepherd’s warning. The workmen arrived at nine. I made them some tea and cake and by the time they had eaten it, it was raining so they left.  About 3/4 of an hour later the sun was shining.  I cut down the last of the plants that were close to the house then lay on the sofa and nursed my back for the rest of the day.
