Now it's time for the last word with the great Lawrence. Oh, Donald. Good evening.

0:04.9

Good evening. You are an avid user of blue sky, and my laziest approach to blue sky is to simply re-sky, or whatever we call it.

0:15.2

Your skies, because they're so informative and go right to the heart of what's happening every day.
