Today (or was it yesterday) Mystic Mick consulted his Tarot Cards to give SomersetClive readers an insight into the future. What is in store for the glorious month of August? Only Mystic knows.
August
DEATH. Oh dear. That’s not a very good start to the month, is it? Let me try and put a more positive spin on this one. Death doesn’t mean the end, instead it represents the death of something or someone, but after death comes a new beginning. Could this possibly refer to the White Elephant Enclosure? Could it be that the WEE Mismanagement Committee has finally realised that the best course of action would be to hand the WEE over to an outside operator and let them run it? Probably not.
THE LOVERS. This is an easy one isn’t it? It’s quite obvious that this is Squire Teflon and his close-friend and employer Mistress Bones. We probably need to pair this with a second card. Ah yes. TEMPERANCE. That makes it easier. Mistress Bones is going to demand that Squire Teflon cuts back on the Albanian Whiskey. I foresee that it won’t go well.
THE FOOL. An easy one to finish with. This is definitely Councillor Robb Apprentice-Candlestick Maker, who is under the illusion that he is a meaningful and worthwhile member of Smalltown and Dullbridge Town Council, fully capable of discussing and voting on matters put before the Council. However, he’s finally going to start to realise that he is way out of his depth and is actually a complete waste of space.
He comes to this realisation after turning right instead of left as he leaves The Hayloft Road Palace Retirement Home for Bemused and Bewildered BeFuddled Party ex-Teachers (and Others) and gets completely lost. Smalltown Area Ship, Hovercraft and Helicopter (SMASHH) are called out to find him, but claim they can’t join the search as they are busy hosing down their equipment.
