Quickie

What a dark, dreadful day it was weatherwise. Winter is definitely here.
The North Sea, along with the wind and rain, was wild.
And it's not going to get any better this side of the year.

First really bad day and i've already turned into a doomsayer, I'm depressed and dreading the next few months.

On the plus side, It's time to dispense of the light, crisp and chilled, French whites, and dig out the dark, robust and full bodied,Italian reds.
