The Uncensored Hessey Diaries

Have I censored my grandparents' diaries at all? The answer is no, for the very good reason that there is nothing - unfortunately perhaps - to censor! Actually, that's not quite true. I unilaterally decided some time ago to omit most if not all references to the weather on the grounds that the sort of weather prevailing back in the 'twenties and 'thirties would be of precious little interest to us today.It could be argued, I suppose, that a diary without weather is like the Vatican without the Pope, St Paul-without-the-wall, Monte Carlo without the Count, Welsh rarebit without the Welsh, tonic without the gin [I think we've got the idea], but that's the whole point, isn't it?

Would it be feasible or desirable to extend this ban on all mention of the weather to the realm of everyday conversation? It wouldn't mean that you could no longer listen to the weather forecast, but it would mean that you could no longer talk about it.
