for your appreciation of this much-maligned colour.

Thanks Mneme and Dave
I'm hungry! But blogging comes first, of course!

Thanks Rich and Moon!
Grey is fine by me as long as it's not always like that! You'd like in Britain then, Moon!

I know I am in the minority but, I like cold, damp and grey - it energizes me. Must say something about my nature?  MoonSpirit

Hi!!! the last three lines do it for me,
They are truly beautiful, and I am floating on grey in my southernly self...I cannot stay for long, the meter is ticking, an hour already...

Hi Mike - hopefully he'll be better at foreign policy
but in other respects I'll be surprised if Brown will be popular at the general election. I think we could see the Tories running them close or even getting back in.

Hi Tony
A sonnet that sings in the news of the day and the future, Gordon Brown I think I prefer him to Blare, I think ?

Hi Tony
As even i have realized that there are days when sleeping becomes secondary to blogging. No, not grey, as you say to Troosha, but brown it is, brown it should be! Hey, but do you know why? Because, Tony Brown is likely to replace Tony Blair as Prime Minister later this year, in case anyone does recognise the name.

Thanks guys and gals

Red - yeah, that's quite popular at the moment isn't it? I'd get a lot of stick in the office though, i think - from people who have themselves got dyed hair!

Great pic, Troosh. I love colours - I even like grey. It's a kind of appreciation of the greyness both inside my apartment and outside. There's a harmony between all the greys everywhere. the hair thing is something that's been on my mind lately. I think i might have it dyed next time I have a hairdresser's appointment. I'll get them to stick more hair on my head, too.

Hi Bhaskar - yeah, I'm doing well seeing as I've not slept much for the last two nights. Was going to go to sleep, but then I thought, no, I'll blog instead!!

Tony
Sounds like you need a little color in your day (evening)....  it just sounded a bit like "I got the winter blahs" but maybe I misinterpreted.   In case I was right though....
