Weather

Sometimes I even talk about the weather. It’s strange that I don’t usually do so, in spite of the fact that weather interests me. But it’s not the small talk daily kind of weather that I care about. To me, it’s what drives the weather that is most interesting.

There are occasions when I get excited about some aspect of weather and produce screeds of descriptive language in an attempt to show others how fascinating it is. I have no idea whether this succeeds but, at the time, I don’t care. The important thing is to be carried away.

Now that’s something that happens rarely to me. As an Englishman, I am trained to keep all forms of emotion and excitement under control. So, when these outbursts occur, I tend to run with them and enjoy it while it lasts.

But most of the time I keep it bottled up.

And if you really want to know what the weather is at the moment, it’s a bit cooler than it has been lately. I don’t think it’s raining but I could be wrong - I rarely go out.
