Simpsons Sky

Time spent staring at the sky is never wasted. I reckon a person is seldom more innocently - or soothingly - employed than in idly scanning the heavens. As the toad work is squatting especially heavily on me at the moment (though, as ever, it's not so much Work as the Stuff that goes with work - that's what grinds you down), I've been taking every precious opportunity to stare at the sky. With the strange weather we've been having, I've noticed an odd phenomenon: in the sunnier moments of the persistent sunshine-and-showers mix, the sky has a distinct look of The Simpsons - you know, that sky under the opening titles, with its range of small but substantial clouds, light below and darker above, against a slightly watery blue sky. It's hard to see this effect without the jingle sounding in your head (well my head anyway) - 'The Siiimpsons'... I wonder if anyone else has noticed this meteorological phenomenon. I hereby name it Simpsons Sky.
