I need sun

I left for class yesterday in the dull dark cloudy morning, sat on a train for an hour, sat on the tube for half an hour, got some cash, stopped by my regular lunch spot, an Italian deli-where I've become a regular. The sandwich guy now knows when I am running late and when I can have a cappuccino or not and today he made me a special sandwich. Anyway, one with my day-then I got to walk for 15 minutes to class-nice break in the day actually-and got a few looks from builders as I am dressed like a school girl with a plaid wool mini and knee high black boots.
Sat in studio for 5 hours-got my first project back, had to present it to a visitor from another school, worked on a fun project with a group (somehow 4 expats grouped together) for the grounds of Glyndebourne, an old country house in Suffolk that hosts operas in the summer, had some muled wine and the day was done.
Left school at 3:30 to a dull dark afternoon-dark enough for the Christmas lights on Kings Road to be on.
Woke up late this morning because it was dull and dark, and so far today we have had 5 minutes of sunshine. Time to light candles and eat chocolate.
