    good day
    When the cat washes her face, over her ears, it is the sign of a storm.
    When the cat scrapes the leg of a table it is the sign of wind.
    When the sea is rough it is the sign of a storm
    When the weather glass goes down it is the sign of bad weather
    When there is a ring round the moon it is the sign of a storm.
    When the sea-gulls leave the shore and make for the mountains it is the sign of a storm approaching.
    When the tide rises high it is the sign of bad weather.
