BRIDGE OF EARN — Fictional grandmother Isa Brodie, 84, correctly predicted Austen, Boelo and Chloe using her knees.
“Left knee is wind. Right knee is rain. Both knees means ‘get the washing in, Brian’,” she said. Her son Brian confirmed the washing was not got in.
Isa will be giving a talk at the church hall on Thursday, weather permitting, which she says it will.
The real story: Fictional.

I did NOT get the washing in. In my defence, I don’t have knees like Mum’s.

My granny was the same. Her elbow did snow.
