Talking about the weather

Talking about the weather seems too trivial, too unimaginative and shallow.

Not for Sydneysiders. For weeks, Sydney has been drenched, cold, dark and miserable. There was the odd weekend of sun, then back to more relentless rain, flooding, strong icy gusts of wind.  And it's too cold, as in the Blue Mountains where they are currently blanketed in snow! (It's a bit surreal, like watching footage about Canada or some place in the northern hemisphere.)

Anyway, last weekend, the sun finally came out. And today, it's at its most glorious.

It was simply breathtaking that people were out on walks, in office wear. It was simply so cheery that I even stopped and chatted with a young mother and her two toddlers.  And it all started with, "Isn't today just lovely weather?!"
