2015 Predictions .....

I have cast the runes, thrown the dice, spread the Tarot and

crunched the numbers.

 

Still available from all good booksellers -
provided you speak German!

I have sat up far into the night clutching balls (crystal, of course

- whatever did you think I meant?)  I have drunk endless cups of rosie

in order to study the leaves and sundry bits of dunked biscuit at the

bottom for signs and portents, and have made countless trips

to the loo as a direct result of my endeavours.

 

"And to what end, woman?" I hear you cry.

GIPSY JULIA LONG DOG'S PREDICTIONS FOR 2015!

 

Do you like the new handwarmer I got for Christmas?

 

- Long Dog sales will increase by 100% due to new marketing methods

which will include subliminal advertising on the blog,

threatening text messages and a FB campaign of harassment.

 

 

- Cross stitching will finally become accepted by the Olympics committee

as a pukka sport along with crochet.  Prototype designs for sprint stitchers

are already on the drawing board and a couple of "marathon" projects

are in the final stages of production.  Anyone wishing to enter their

national trials for a place in the team should be quick about it once the

official announcement is made as selection will be strictly on a first

stitched, first framed basis.

 

- the consumption of Brussel sprouts will finally be banned within the EU

due to their undesirable side effects which scientists believe are

contributing to global warming.

 

Seen here relaxing after the Grand National at Aintree

- a racehorse will win the 2015 Grand National and a bloke in a racing car

will, once again, win all the major motor racing trophies of 2015.

No surprises there then!

 

They certainly didn't see that coming.

- lots of rain will fall in lots of places causing widespread flooding and

record temperatures in June and July will act as the catalyst for

"pop-up sewing bees" practically anywhere with air conditioning

and a place to park your bum.

 

- and finally, more of a threat than a prediction, there will be five

new Long Dog's released into the wild on or about:
