Everyone Talks about

........... the weather and , so do I

Cold and stark and whitely done
Grim as well

See. Just talk.

The buds produced little last night. RTE , Radio Ireland ,does audio documentaries. This morning ( 5 AM  , you got it , couldn't sleep ) , the story was " Buried Twice and the 12 Apostles "
In Ireland , 1980 or so.  A known inhabitant of the small town         ' A '  died on the way home from the pub. He was found in the morning , and dirty and sodden , placed in a wooden box. Subsequently , he was buried and partly forgotten.
Partly , b/c 2 days later , the 12 came and dug him up , washed and clothed him and re - buried him. 
The 12 were questioned by the local police and............... nothing
Really , nothing.
The death was not officially recorded for 8 years.
The story became legend all around the area. By chance , a producer heard the legend and investigated.
She turned up an original of the 12 , went to grave and surprisingly received a tape of the deceased singing in his favourite pub. The attention brought about contributions for a marker , rather than the cross that was over the grave.
I suppose everything worked out in the end.
