Very damp and overcast here.

But that gives me a good excuse to stay in and do some computer art work! Maybe catch up with some of the Snowflake Challenges.

I did do a brief walk earlier, and was amazed how wet everything looked, so although it didn't wake me up, it must have rained heavily overnight.

Today would have been Elvis Presley's 90th birthday, and the radio is playing a lot of his music today. I am happy as I am actually a great fan of his music. When I was younger he was one of the "stars" whose poster I had on my wall.
