Grey day music

I don't know if this ever happens to you but sometimes I hear a song and it so exactly captures my frame of mind, I'm astonished by it. That happened this morning. Completely by chance I heard this song by a Dutch band, Spinvis, over at Hammie Hamster's blog (http://hammiehamster.blogspot.com/). I had never heard of Spinvis up until that moment, and in fact I'm not sure if I have ever listened to a song in Dutch before. Something about it taps straight into my quiet, mostly peaceful but slightly melancholy mood today, which is matched by grey, humid and eerily still storm weather.

Strange days indeed

We are having some very weird weather here at present. 28 degrees celsius and pouring with rain. Very tropical for this part of the world. The summer roses are in bloom and speckled with rain...but perhaps this mismatched picture and the peculiar conditions in general suit my own slightly discordant mood this week!
