There are a whole lot of very expressive words we no longer use, such as ‘beaut’ and ‘groovy’.

A cold norwester seems a contradiction where I'm sitting. Today was a real Canterbury scorcher: everything in the garden almost breathed sighs of relief when the sun went down. The weird thing is that less than a week ago it rained, freezing nearly, for more or less 24 hours. And about 2 1/2 weeks ago we had a frost overnight.
