Good Morning and welcome to today
How are you? Here in the Home Counties we are a bit hot! Being British we are always surprised by weather…Yes, isn’t that silly? Silly but true. In winter, we are always SO shocked when it snows. There has never been a year when we have been prepared for it and we have headlines like
Chaos on Roads for 3 Full Days! Temperatures Plummet!
I have a Norwegian friend who mocks me unmercifully for the layers I wear in winter and the blankets over chair arms and the heated hand-warmers I thrust into everyone’s pockets when they go a hundred yards up the road to the pharmacy for warming throat lozenges and tickly cough medicine. He mocks me and reliably informs me that he
sunbathes in the weather I insist is freezing cold.
So in summer, no one here is surprised with headlines like:
Roads Melting! Stay Indoors to Avoid Heatstroke! Chaos at Coastal Resorts! It is then that my friend from South Africa will tip up wearing a cardigan across her shoulders because she’s feeling a little chilly. It’s quite literally a matter of degree isn’t it? Something veers away from what you are used to and …
It’s Chaos!
Hyperbole can be a bit annoying can’t it? You know, when someone
really exaggerates something - like owning a fleet of cars/helicopters\battleships. Some of us have Admirals in our family. Some of us have Admirals of the Fleet in our family. Some of us take fleeting glances at things we can’t have or loved ones we lost to someone else. There are poets who will tell us that
Life is but a fleeting dream...I just took a fleeting glance at the clock on my mantelpiece which measures my life in seconds. It is admonishing me for not posting this earlier…so I might not be exaggerating if I said that the only fleet worthy of note or indeed mention is time. It’s fleeting…
Peace…
