Which Is, Obviously - Of Course! - Japanese For "Good Evening"

It's been a strange day, weatherwise, here at The Mansion and in the larger world outside, down to Lesser Sodom ('Royton' if we're being formal). Sunny at first, then cloudy yet still warm, and there were spots of rain as I walked to the Co-Op. Upon exiting the air-conditioned shopping cave, it was instantly apparent how unpleasantly close it was.

Not only that, the 409 came early; I witnessed it as I stood and paid for my remaindered food at the counter, and had to manage an undignified jog to catch it. The one before came five minutes late, I know this because I saw it and checked the time on my Fitbit.

Then we've had more rain, and now the skies are clearing. British weather; a certain ice-breaker for centuries. Art!
