The Electric Light Orchestra playing Mr. Blue Sky says it all for Herts today:

....and if you feel like singing along:

Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, hey hey
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey hey
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
Oh Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue (sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (sky)
Look around see what you do (blue)
Everybody smiles at you

Here in Hertfordshire:
It's very, very blue.
And sunny.
And warm.
And still.
And not totally smug free.

A fine example of smugnessless.. Bill.

 

[kenspain]

Nice and hot clear blue sky's just been for a quick swim even the sea is getting warm

 

[Val54]

started off with full cloud until early afternoon, cleared to full blue by 15.00 and now gently toasting at 25 degrees

I had to think through that one, Paul.
So:
'Smug' ....a much underused adjective.
Add the suffix 'ness' gives 'smugness', and the adjective changes to a noun.
Add a second suffix ....'less' to the new noun 'smugness' gives the adjective 'smugnessless' meaning without the quality described by the noun.
Mmmmmm.......

Whereas 'smuglessness':

Smug + less = smugless
so gives adjective >>>> adjective without the quality 'smug'.

Smugless + ness = smuglessness
so gives adjective >>>>> noun.

Now I see why you chose that particular suffix order in your post, Paul. You clearly wished to congratulate Bill on his heroic efforts to avoid being smug.

Continuing on a smugless theme it’s still cool and cloudy with more drizzle to come. Never mind we’ll soon be able to join you all in the land of the free.
