if april showers will bring may flowers.

the sky is a dull pearl. or an oyster, I suppose, though to be honest the only oysters I've seen came from a tin at a football party a decade ago, and a sky that colour would be awful, a sky like a miner's lung. I imagine oysters raw or lightly steamed is the colour people encounter in paint samples and so on.

in any case, oysters and hail don't make any sort of coherent post together, do they? oh well. I'm just opening up the door and letting whatever's in there spill out, and we'll sort it out later, if we've got nothing better to do.
