I can well believe it, Tharg. All that water would have ‘encouraged’ lots of yummy food to the surface. It was probably a Royal Ball and Banquet. 😉
I very much approve of the new ‘Advanced Warning’ system, by the way: About 10 minutes before it starts to rain the clouds announce themselves with a few rumbles of thunder, so you’ve got time to close the big windows, bring in the washing or catch the dog in from the garden before it gets a soaking. Very civilised.
