Titel und Text stammen von Aether Realm & "Temperance", weil ich fand, dass es zu ihr passt. Und weil es was von Shakespeare hat.

Good afternoon Susan. It’s just past noon in England and the sun is making a feeble attempt to break through the grey clouds. Will it succeed? Probably not. May I have a cup of your #BlueBrew coffee while I wait. Have a lovely Wednesday.
