Never one drop of rain on Arrakis…
Nor in Ireland! The ‘drops’ it falls in are too big to be called drops – they are more in the style of dollops 😀
It would hardly be the emerald isle otherwise
Too true ?
I don’t think we’d like Ireland nearly as much if it were a desert island. But if we moved it to the Bahamas…
9 out of 15 right! I was rather surprised at my ignorance. But I’m not ignorant anymore! LOL.
Well that can’t be a bad thing! You are a good learner 😉
