PEOPLE are generally happier when the sun is out.

I am keen weather buff and am almost obsessed with checking the weather every day. I think it all boils down to my geography teacher at school. Once you have learnt about cirrus clouds and cumulus clouds you kind of get addicted to them.

When the weather is like this you will notice you still have people who will moan for the sake of moaning. It seems as if they want the weather to be bad so they can moan about it.

People don’t like it when there is nothing of any significance happening with the weather. If it is decent day they will find a flaw in it. Live and let be.

Be glad it isn’t raining and you can actually walk without the fear of the wind blowing you off your feet.

The heat can also bring out the worst in people. Just because it is little hot does not give you the excuse to act like an idiot behind the wheel.

I know driving through Darwen right now through those annoying single lane traffic lights is frustrating right now. But at least it is warm.

But I have to admit if I am to moan myself it will be about the folk who go to supermarkets dressed as if they are on holiday.

This is a public supermarket — not the gift shop in the Benidorm.

Also I must say I am not a fan of people who don’t wear deodorant. Deodorant is invented for this type of weather.

I was walking yesterday and a car pulled up with a friend of mine who offered me a lift.

He had a stressful day but was kind enough to drop me off home. But stress or no stress you have to take care of the smell.

I decided the fresh air would do me good and I walked the rest of the way. After all the sun was out — well, that’s what I told him.
