But it's miserable enough with grey skies and all that rain without having to look at it from beneath a ceiling of black. So now I try to buy coloured or patterned ones, and it does make the grey weather marginally more bearable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932777540194207134.post-80489286597400188212009-01-12T12:15:00.000-08:002009-01-12T12:15:00.000-08:00Nice one, even though I didn't get to put my stam...Nice one, even though I didn't get to put my stamp of approval on it.
