It's just gone all dark!

Was just sat here idly surfing the net, looked round and realised that it was so dark I needed to put the light on! It is chucking it down outside. Last time I looked (about 20 minutes ago cos I have my back to the window) it seemed quite pleasant. Oh well, not going anywhere much, only next door and round the corner. But yuck, wet. And since I've been typing this, it's raining harder and harder so I can hardly see out of the window. My s-i-l in Melbourne could really do with this rain - Mr said last night it's a shame we can't tip the world over a bit and run all our rain down there...
