That Venus Thing

from Surface Industries I by Paul Rooney

/

lyrics

A - Today is one of those hazy days with soft grey white clouds but somehow the sun seems to penetrate just enough to give one the sense of summer. It is warm for us.

B - Today it is overcast and a little drizzly. It poured with rain last night, which is good because we are in drought here at the moment and are living with water restrictions.

A - Ominous darks clouds are hanging about but with bright sunshine. It looks from the sky as if there could be very local rain today as most of the sky is a hazy grey blue.

B - Heavy rain overnight seemed to have cleared the air. A lovely balmy breeze. It was pretty cold in the early morning, I had to wear a beanie when walking the dogs.

A - There was something different about today - we had Venus passing over the sun. I am sure that the light changed and somehow felt reduced as Venus was at it’s fullest on the sun.

B - Lots of rain, low… dark clouds and wind. Very different to the last couple of days here. We also had the Venus thing going on but I can't say that I noticed it at all.

A - It seems crazy that in this land of so many sunless days one feels pleased that the sun was hidden behind the clouds today.

B - Well, we ha[d] the opposite here. Lots of fog and very cold this morning. Then it was really grey and bleak looking…Not a breath of wind now and everything is quite still.

(Spoken)

A - Because it is so still the bird song echoes and you can see the flies in the rays of sun. Lots of 'mares tales’, which are wisps of cloud high up.

B - The moon was still high in the sky around 6.30am and it looked like it was nearly full with just a small amount of darkness around the bottom.
