A grey day

By the time I woke up it was grey outside.
By the time I went for a newspaper it was grey outside and spitting with rain.
By the time I'd read the newspaper it was raining outside and grey.
By the time I got in the car it was still raining and grey outside.
By the time I took this photograph it was still raining but not quite as grey outside.
By the time I got home it was raining again and dark and grey outside.
By the time I finished painting the cupboard it was white inside.

I think the effect of the paint fumes has worn off now.

Song.
