Dreich Dawn

It's not Irma but it is certainly lacking cheer this morning.

Dreich Dawn

Dark clouds, foreboding,

scurry across the dawn skies,

summer left behind.

Storm Aileen is no Irma you're right John but when the Sun has been gone for so long dank sustained dankness weighs heavily on people like us who rarely see it anyway!
The feeling of the short damp nights is wrapped all around this one.

Indeed Tony and you guys and my Scottish compatriots seem to have had nothing but rain this year so far. Cheers!
