Explain to me how 5degC horizontal rain at 40knots in August is a good thing
Explain to me where you read anyone was suggesting such a thing, SD.
I can, however, explain that I enjoy the change and the contrast. I marvel at the texture of the landscape being revealed as the sun lowers and the shadows lengthen. I am in awe at how the lush green landscape turns golden brown and periodically white. I enjoy the randomness of all that lies between. And then I have the joy of looking forward to the green lushness of Spring.
See, it is getting browner by the day.
I'm not all that keen on routine and sameness.
I think, however, the greatest benefit of the change and variety is in fact an increased awareness and appreciation for how absolutely incredible life is and how fortunate we are to be experiencing it. That appreciation somehow heightens the experience of existing.
Moreover, there is nothing I can do about the changing seasons, so I may as well embrace the positives.
And as I stood at the reception this morning at 8.30 booking my car for a service, only to be told it wasn't due until 13.30, I had a Pete Spencer moment of realisation that I'd better enjoy those I have left to their fullest.

No need to apologise, each to their own.
PS
Where I am it is the 22nd October, not August.
