Accentuate the positive

It has been brought to my attention that of late, very occasionally, my words regarding the weather in Orkney have not been as positive sounding as they might be. In an effort to rebuff this accusation (and in no way is this an indication of my guilt), here is an upbeat post about the climes in current times.

Reasons to be cheerful:

1. Our garden pond is full to overflowing;

2. The vegetation in the garden is oh so very lush;

3. The slugs and snails are having a whale of a time;

4. Yesterday, at Rerwick Head, I noticed that it was an indicated 30 degrees;

5. The weather is mainly vertical, which is eminently preferable to the other option.
