Tuesday morning means it's croquet time. Like all the cool dudes say, "Grab it and let's mallet!" or something to that effect. The trouble is finding a dude that is cool-ish at the croquet club!
Anyway, driving through Waikanae town to the croquet courts this morning with the car radio on Waikanae 93.5FM , after the news headlines at nine, the announcer's voice, "And the weather for today...Kapiti Coast, Paraparaumu to Waikanae... light showers, clearing later. The ranges... casual showers at times, with a gentle south-westerly. A high of eighteen degrees..."
Casual showers? I asked myself. What on earth is a casual shower? One with laid-back raindrops which simply saunter down feather-like to earth and then lol around on your shoulder? One that simply refuses to drop down in straight military-style lines, like trigger-happy water-canon? Now, at lunchtime, we still have not experienced any sort of rain at all, casual, commonplace or proper. The anticipated precipitation quite evidently was extremely casual, perhaps casualer than casual, like, man, like the most super casualest of showers?
This opens up a whole new section in the Dictionary of Meteorology: instead of a 60% chance of showers, we could have casual, more casualer, or even the most casualest of showers...
Raindrops keep falling on my head.... nothing's bothering me-e-e.
