Overheard in Lerwick

I was in a shop that specializes in fishing equipment, work clothes, and tourist items. It was, what the locals would call, a bright day. As a matter of perspective, to myself and the widget on smartphone, it was 55F and mostly cloudy with patches of blue. There were some rain clouds in the distance. As such, this was the exchange I heard:
Local man buying provisions: “It’s a beautiful day.”
Female shop attendant: “Yes. I wish summer could be like this every day.” (Pause with a slight sigh) “You live and hope.”
