Bleak

Here it is Folks ... All my fault for taking the p*** yesterday ... :o|
---
The sun, beaming through the dark grey cloud cover, lighting up the beach and glistening like diamonds on the surface of the sea ... would have been nice ... but instead, this is what it actually looked like ...
---
In a word ... "Bleak" ...
In nine words ... Cold, damp, dull, dismal, dispiriting, gloomy, dreary, sombre and melancholic ...
---
Mind you, it could have been worse ... it could have been foggy ... :o)
