Went to Sainsbury's; coming back, the Sun emerged from the edge of a westward-travelling storm and filled the rainy air with light. The Sun being rather low, a vast rainbow slowly appeared in the West; I could see across the countryside to where the end met the horizon. The sunlight was reflecting off the wet concrete in a great golden blur and adding an unusual angle of light to the scene. The gloom, meteorological and psychological, of the past few days was quite dispelled by these glorious sights.
