Anything over 25°C is simply wasted Celsius!

Approaching the tree this afternoon on a lovely sunny day I passed a couple dressed for the Arctic who commented on my 'bravery' at walking in shorts and T-shirt (in honesty I like it cooler as I could tend to hyperhidrosis so I find existing in desert-like heat seriously unpleasant). To my way of thinking anything above 25°C is wasted Celsius and I would happily trade those wasted Celsius for the moments when -3°C seems too bitter.
Their comment got me thinking about the alleged obsession the English have with the weather and what actually constitutes perfect weather for anyone.
I guess it all comes down to what you are doing.
-1°C and sunny fabulous hitting the alpine slopes, not much chop at the beach.
42°C and humid lovely lounging round a pool on holiday, no real fun laying bricks.
Blowing a good puff sensational for paragliding, a nightmare playing tennis.
Farmers will curse rain at harvest time and bemoan the lack of it during growing season.
As an Aussie, people often ask what on earth made me decide to stay in England coming from a country with so much better weather and a lot of it is down to the love I have of verdancy and the effect it has on my sense of well-being - .clouds bring rain, rain brings growth, growth feeds life.
The weather will be what the weather will be and as the saying goes 'Every cloud..............'!
