Clouds

I took a photo of clouds late last month and it made me think about English expressions with the word cloud; here are three:

“Every cloud has a silver lining”.

This expression means there is something good to be found in every bad situation.

“On cloud nine”

If someone is on cloud nine it means they are very happy and excited.

“Head in the clouds”

If a person has their head in the clouds, they are daydreaming and/or not paying attention.

Celebrated Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell wrote a song called “Both Sides Now” which features clouds in the first verses and changing chorus.

Rows and flows of angel hair

And ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere

I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun

They rain and they snow on everyone

So many things I would have done

But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It's cloud illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

Do you like to look at clouds? Do they make you think of bad weather? Book a lesson with me and we can have a chat. You can tell me your opinion of clouds, sunny weather and rain, and/or ask me my opinion.
