I have a reliable barometer, and I also use a pin-pointed local on-line forecast; but the best method of predicting the day's weather (other than looking upwards) is by checking-out Lady M's shoes.
She has a whole box full of espadrilles. Every colour, every form, and every innovation can be found there. These are her latest ones, which are also my current favourites. Simple navy and white stripes (I chose them).
They don't last; they're not intended to. They're the nearest thing to not wearing shoes, and still keep doggy-nasties from under your feet. Summer wouldn't be summer without espadrilles; they breathe warmth.
When Lady M wears hers; it means hot, scorched earth, hang-tongue arid, sun creamy, cold beery, pool-side, silly hat, tanning, sunshine.... When all we actually need is gum-booting rain!

Hello:
The signs of summer are indeed everywhere. They creep upon us imperceptibly. For us, there is no longer porridge for breakfast!
I once heard an over-worked hospital medical consultant say that the first signs of summer for him were, "Sputum becoming clearer, less admissions for broken bones from slipping on ice, etc."
I adore espadrilles. Tell Lady M I just got a new pair of black ones.
Nice shoes. Ladies need twice as many shoes for summer as winter because there are so many different colors to wear. Love espardrilles, have many in my closet.
Love the shoes. Love the sun! I moved today - now at someothermountain.blogspot.com
LOVE this description:
" ...it means hot, scorched earth, hang-tongue arid, sun creamy, cold beery, pool-side, silly hat, tanning, sunshine.... When all we actually need is gum-booting rain!"
I say, AMEN, brother!
Great shoes and blog! We desperately need some "gum-booting rain", too! Cie la vie, cher! I'm your newest follower!
Espadrilles is the way forward :)) ! I love the last paragraph too. Very lovely diction.
