I think it's been a few years since we've had such a driech day in the
central lowlands.
Driech being a Scots word for a combination of mist, murk, drizzle and
depressing grey weather.

Hi Alex

Isn't it spelt 'dreich'?
Note for prospective users of the word, the ch is pronounced as the ch in
Mach.

And it's usually preceded by the word "gie" with the "i" pronounced as
in "tide" :-)
