Its a rainy Saturday morning. The Wedding Assassins are off in Peel Forest shooting people at a wedding. The markets are a bit slow today and Santa was supposed to do a big gig down at the park tonight. Ho ho ho, not likely. But then Santa is not afraid of a little bit of rain.
Don't misunderstand me, I am not a Santa Cynic but I am painfully aware of the foibles of weather.
This year has seen a fair number of dreary weekends (read as "dreary days for people to get married ")
We live in the hope of perfect weather. For me 'perfect' would be an impending storm with a touch of brightness coming in from the sides, ... or misty.
The trouble with that impending storm look .... is the impending storm ... go figure!
Last weekend I had a short notice wedding in Tekapo ... the weather warnings had spoken of 130kph winds and as I was driving in things were looking grim.
As the afternoon progressed it just got better and better.
Bring on the storms I say!

Good luck for everything Ed and Robyn
Nothing wrong a bit of white clouds to soften the light, grey clouds to give drama to the sky and black clouds to just add that soft half-formed notion in the back of the viewer's mind that nature is preparing for something big.
