Sometimes, when I want to talk to someone and don’t know what to say I go for the weather talk. Because I think talking about the weather is casual enough to get a friendly and honest response. Here are some of the responses I can think of: the weather is lovely today; the weather is meh today; the weather is whatever today (which is sort of similar to “the weather is meh today”); the weather is nice right now, but in a bit, the weather might no longer be this nice.

Well, you know the weather is the weather. It changes here and there. Sometimes the weather is good. Sometimes the weather is bad. That’s just the way it is and that’s totally okay. Anyway, penny for your weather thoughts today?
