Summary
A Shetland saying remembered in Australia.
The contributor repeats a number of times the Shetland saying, "The linga are running, the garden is planted, the baby is born: it must be spring." He takes this to refer to the poverty and hard routine of the women's lives. 'Linga' he understands to be some kind of fish.
