I'm not singing the rest of it, because it gets a little maudlin (. . .since my man and I ain't together keeps raining all the time life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere stormy weather, just can't get my poor old self together I'm weary all the time, the time, so weary all of the time when he went away, the blues walked in and met me if he stays away, old rocking chair will get me all I do is pray, the lord above will let me walk in the sun once more can't go on, everything I had is gone stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together keeps raining all the time keeps raining all of the time I walk around heavy-hearted and sad night comes around and I'm still feeling bad rain pourin' down, blinding every hope I had this pitter and 'n' patter and beating, spattering driving me mad love, love, love, love, the misery will be the end of me when he went away, the blues walked in and met me if he stays away, old rocking chair will get me all I do is pray, the lord above will let me walk in the sun once more can't go on, everything I had is gone stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together keeps raining all the time, the time keeps raining all the time) (see what I mean? pretty, but maudlin)
.
so yesterday was supposed to be the saddest day of the year, because of the lack of daylight hours, in London's case the lack of daylight (well, sunshine), the ongoing recovery from the festive season and - in SouthWestSomethingOrOther's case - the frequent deluges of rain
.
but it felt ok!
.
.
I hope you (yes, you!)
have a good day today
.
- rain or shine!

For 'man', 'he', 'him', 'his' read F & N.
(Perfect January day, wisps of cirrus, no wind, warm sunshine. Would you care to join us for apéro at 12?)
Christopher sounds perfect! I'd so love to be there - have one for me. . .
Oh dear.....I think Christopher is pining for his F & N, the poor fella....
(((((((( Christopher )))))))))
We have something similar--somebody's chunky something or other. It's got chocolate and raisins and nuts all smushed into one big chunk of chocolate.
Shoot. What DO they call that?!
(besides me being braindead after doing workstuff until this hour....)
well.....shoot....
IN the meantime--awesome photo of the storm coming at sunset. And you're right--I like the tune but it comes with some pretty overwhelmingly sad lyrics.
I didn't know that was the saddest day (or should that be SADdest?). It's not the shortest day by nearly a month. Er, I mean the shortest day was nearly a month ago...
Anyway, I had quite a nice day, thank you and I'm glad yours was ok too : )
