October's less romantic side...

Well, following last night's romantic view of motorway driving in the October gloaming (see post), it's now morning here - stark, grey, moist, murky, utterly dreary morning, and the rain is dripping through our roof.

Yes, the living room is taking on features of that outside squelch: the damp, the smell, the grey - in stains on the upholstery, ceiling, walls. Builder on his way... bank balance about to suffer a blow. Day's work plans up spout. House up spout even, possibly... who knows! Dark day.

No signs or hints through that lovely, long-gone summer. October's doing, this. So much for lights like chandelier shards in the gloaming!
