Whinge: TV weatherpersons . Sorry, but most are talking heads. What is required are more cultured and uplifting presentations. An hypothetical example in the lofty style of ABC, BBC etc..( to be read with sombre tones and well modulated voice:)"Good evening. The Bureau of Meteorology, after a period of intense study, reflection, evaluation, examination and scrutiny have released the following statment in respect of atmospheric conditions for the period ahead. The Bureau advises that there will be occasional darkness after midnight. This will be accompanied by the accumulation in the atmosphere of extensive cloud cover, resulting in the plummeting to the earth of droplets of rain. This will cause moisture to gather atop dwellings, vehicles, lawns, and exposed surfaces. It is anticipated this activity will cease with the advent of increased illumination after sunrise."
I find that presentations such as this are comforting, as we are being taken in to the confidence of the Bureau, and have a warm fuzzy glow resulting from the reassurance that the Bureau is looking out for us. Such comfort enables , in fact- empowers us to reach quality decisions about our wardrobe for the day to come.
Have a nice day. Take the umbrella-just in case.
