Surprised by the sun

[girlyswot]

I've had the weather-dependent theme on my Gmail page for several weeks now. Today is the first time I've seen the sun appear on it. I had to stare at it for several seconds before I realised that, no, the theme hasn't been changed by accident. I've seen dark clouds, white clouds, rain, and snow in various formations, but never a blue sky with a sun. Which is not to say there hasn't been any real sun up here over the last few weeks, just that it's always gone too quickly for Gmail to catch up.

It is slightly miserable having such short days at the moment but it is almost made up for by the number of quite glorious sunrises I've seen lately. This morning's was particularly beautiful.
