Very gloomy in Southampton all day yesterday and this morning. The
presence or absence of the sun, or at least brightness, starts to make
a big difference around now - if the sun is out or at least the clouds
are fairly thin, it feels (daylight-wise) that spring is on the way,
while if the clouds are thick it may as well be November. Cold or
mild, my main wish right now is to see the brightness back!!!
