A "duvet day"

It never got light. All day we had a thin drizzle and mist which kept the countryside in perpetual semi-darkness.

There is an old Scots word to describe days like this. It's "dreich". A more modern version is a"duvet day", the kind of day you wish you could stay snuggled down in bed with a good book and endless cups of coffee.

And you wonder if its worth getting up. No wonder SAD ( seasonal affective disorder) is rampant in the northern hemisphere.
