This is day 7 of the advent calendar and it comes — due to force majeur! –with a delay. But I will leave it and the draw open a little bit longer tomorrow to compensate.
Here in Zurich it is windy, cool, grey, very grey, rainy, and … yes, grey. soon it will be dark, but right now it is like it was 5 hour ago. grey. And if I say grey, I mean it.
Thus, the prize of today’s post is a bright Cologne du Maghreb, sent to the winner where ever he or she lives. Picked from the comments section below by random.org. The only thing you have to do is leave a comment. Maybe you want to share what the sky looks like on your side of the planet. Or just say hello. Everything goes.
Have I told you already: Here it is grey.

I think winter is finally coming to Stockholm. There is icy magic in the air.
Its dark and rainy on my part of the planet. Getting cold too so the rain will soon be snow. So dreary.
Believe it or not cold and grey makes me nostalgic for home! It’s warm and humid here. I have come to love Christmas in summer… but images of the white Christmases I grew up with do linger.
Snuggle up with a cuppa and enjoy a good book I suppose!
Hope you have a lovely season
Dark because its night
Lovely prize. Thank you xxx

Hello. Brrrrr, cold in the Hill Country of TX. Woke up to the 20′s and frost on the ground.

How clever.
