Please help me to translate I trying to translate this sentence from Harry Potter, and don't understend the noun of word "about" in it. When Mr. and Mrs. Dursley woke up on the dull, gray Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country. Is it mean "except the cloud sky" or "even the cloud sky"? actually i try to understand, was the sky cloudy? and did they suuggest about the next happenings.
