Well that's most of todays plans out the window.
Dark grey, lashing down with drizzle since 07:00, dank and generally turgid.
Nights start drawing out again as from Sunday however. Extra 1 minute of evening daylight.
Forecast for next week is looking decidely hopeful too.
There I've just typed my way out of this gloomy depression I was feeling 5 minutes ago. It's good to rant.
