Pregnant Pause

P erfect afternoon although the R ain clouds looked ominous over Tory. E ven still we ventured out as the darkness G athered behind our foot prints on one of the N icest beaches in North Donegal. A nd while the thunder clapped and N attering seagulls bolted, T houghtlessly we dandered on. P assing time pleasantly chatting A nd banishing the blood result blues. U ntil we both were saturated when S uddenly in unison pregnant clouds E mptied their ruptured waters upon us.

Perfect title, and I love the thought of nattering seagulls - saves them pooping on you! At least it was the cloud's water's breaking and not a pregnant lady on your walk. or your midwifery training would have you leaping into action. Hope everything is ok (re blood tests) hugs jan xx

My friend is newly diagnosed as being diabetic and coming to terms with all that implies. In three weeks she has dropped half a stone and her blood sugars so doing good. Many’s the rapturous rupture I have witnessed that’s true Jan.
