Let me tell you something about the weather.

"Oh, god.  Not again."  I hear you all collectively groan.

No, but wait.  I have something interesting to say.

"Let us guess. Its cold and rainy and you can't dry your washing." Your voices grumble in unison.

Well, ummm, yes.  But, there's more...

"Ok, we bet you made soup and crocheted and had to stay indoors."

Well, yes, but...

"Oh and we bet you cracked roughly 30,000 jokes about how lovely it was in England and everyone going to the beach while you got out the winter woolies." You say in derisory tones.

I sigh.  Yes, I am that predictable.  But, the soup WAS awesome.
