Alexander McCall Smith Quote
But to the north there was a bank of cirro-cumulus, a mackerel sky, or Schaefchenwolken—sheep cloud—as she remembered her father calling it. For some reason he had used German when talking about clouds and sea conditions; an odd habit that she had accepted as just being one of the things he did. The weather, he had once said to her, smiling, is German. I don’t know why; it just is. Sorry.
