I complain about the weather

incandescensThe weather was dramatic last night. When I got up it was merely (ha!) raining, or possibly sleet, but in any case irritating, cold, and wet. But there were occasional piles of melted slush, suggesting that there had been snow before the rain melted it, and cars around the place had the traditional crusts of snow on top and round their windows. And when I got into work, somewhat wet despite umbrella, some of my other coworkers confirmed that there had been snow in their areas.
Not what we expect from April, and from the week coming up to Easter at that.
Oh well, the weather forecast tells me that the snow/rain band is moving south and away from us here. Terribly sorry, people further south.

THE DON'T LIST
(Things to avoid if you don't want to be the next victim)
[...]
16. Don't ask Woof what he's got there in his mouth, and most especially don't ask him to show you where he got it.
17. Don't insist Madame Declasse conduct the seance at midnight, in the library, when the moon is full.
18. Don't adopt young Raymond until you have absolute proof he is your long-lost sister Ava's only child.
19. Don't recognize the handwriting on the ransom note.
20. Don't assume you are nowhere near the cliff's edge when you are being photographed with your back to it.
21. Don't inquire after Lady Margaret's health should you happen to spot her husband signing the chemist's register.
22. Don't waltz a second wife down the aisle if the first has yet to relinquish the title.
23. Don't commend Sir Trevor on his fine collection of sword-canes, especially if a worrisome rash of stabbings has just been reported.
24. Don't doze off in the train compartment when your companion is a burly latecomer wearing very supple gloves.
25. Don't return home early.
26. Don't laugh quite heartily at a prospective employee's resume.
27. Don't open the connecting door.
28. Don't lean over the balustrade for a better glimpse of the gazebo.
29. Don't upend the teapot and announce in a loud voice that the hallmark isn't genuine.
30. Don't reveal the ending of the mystery to someone who is just beginning it.
