    Good: -
    The clouds appear very far away.
    A rainbow in the evening.
    The east wind.
    The swallows flying high.
    The weather glass is risen.
    When you cannot hear the rolling sound of the Kilmorna train here.
    Bad: -
    The clouds appearing near.
    A rainbow in the morning.
    A halo around the moon.
    The sun setting pale in the west.
    The wind whistling in the key hole.
    The Southerly winds.
    The crows flying low.
    The seagulls flocking inland.
    A batch of hens coming together and picking themselves.
    The swallows skimmimg along the land.
    Distant hills appearing near.
    The weather glass is low.
