Mist. Thick and organised and obstinate and layered. Did you hear it come down last night? No, you did not, because the mist works silently and efficiently. It is not clumsy. It does not trip over furniture as it walks into a room or knock your favourite photo of your grandma down the back of a radiator while it is cleaning. As you sit in curtained rooms, you might not even know it has arrived. But it is here, and it is all around you, laundering and sparkling the air, dampening the exterior of your house.
