This happened more or less as I've told it here.

One of my two knowledgeable friends told me this about Fogbows (or mistbows as I prefer - we only have NICE mists in New Zealand, not NASTY fogs):
A fog bow is a similar phenomenon to a rainbow, however, as its name suggests, it appears as a bow in fog rather than rain. .

Because the droplets are very small, fog bows appear white, and are therefore sometimes called white rainbows. A fog bow is seen in the same direction as a rainbow, thus the sun would be behind the head of the observer and the direction of view would be into a bank of fog Its outer radius is slightly less than that of a rainbow.
When a fog bow appears at night it is called a lunar fog bow.

Jandals are quintessential kiwi footwear made of rubber. In other parts of the world they are called thongs or flip-flops and in Singapore, for some bizarre reason, they are known as slippers - I never did find out what slippers are called!
ROY G. BIV pronounced as a name is a mnemonic for remembering the colours of the rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet)

SWMBO (pronounced Swimbo) is She Who Must Be Obeyed - she has appeared before in my poems.

Woogle and Giki are these two smart blokes I know....
