Clouds, but (still) no sunrise

With the amount of clear sky this morning, you'd have thought there must be a sunrise.  Well despite my best hopes the sun rose behind a stubborn blank of cloud and only peeped out fully 45 minutes after the due time.  I did like the shape of these clouds but by the time the sun lit up the local countryside I had been in the office for half an hour.

Thank you very much for the response to yesterday's 1500 blip.  You are a wonderful bunch and have the ability to lift spirits and give someone a good slap on the back.  I really appreciate all of the kind words.  I hope to be here for many years celebrating all of your milestones.
