If you live in Britain at what point do you stop thinking that we just have changeable weather and start thinking that it's personal ?
It was lovely sunshine all morning, so when I made my dinner I thought I'd take it outside into the garden. I'd barely started (I'd only got through half a bagel, or two pages of Prisoner's Dilemma depending on your preferred metric) when it began to rain.
I scuttled into the kitchen, finished my dinner and observed that it was brilliant sunshine again. And it still is. Bah.

He then just throws in the fantastic aside 'presumably with the extensive use of non-toxic dyes' - I love the idea and the understatement of the task.
