And I’ll tell you what else is pathetic... Later maybe, if and when I feel less concerned about the prospect of being viewed as pathetic.

Sad Ol' Sod
I brought the washing in today, just before it rained. I became quite good at reading the weather when I was a landscape photographer. I’m the one of whom people ask ‘Do you think it’s going to rain?’ I look knowingly at the sky and say ‘Mmm... 60-70% chance, I’d say.’ ‘Better get the washing in, then.’ And so they do, and then it rains, and then they say ‘I wish I was as clever as you, Jeffrey.’ At that point I protest that it’s nothing more than practice, but inside I’m thinking ‘Yeah, it is pretty clever, isn’t it?’ Pathetic.

We all love to have these small triumphs, I'm a smeller. "smells like rain!"
By the way, I love the changes in photos and colours and I'm particularly loving the stones.
cradogly-that's my verification word, sounds like my usual mood on waking ;)
And snow smells different than rain.
If I remember correctly, the stones were somewhere near Patterdale in the Lake District.
It does! I was going to post that I claim to smell snow's arrival too.
AS a kid, I used to see a change in the colour of the light when a thunderstorm was due.
Perceptive boy!
