You know this morning it wasn't raining? Sunny even?
I got to Lidl and back - Bb was earlier than expected - so that was something, given the state of the roads there and back.
Not long after I got back it started raining - and then got heavier, and heavier, until about an hour ago it rained heavier than it ever has

So loud on the bay window that poor Minnie jumped up in shock
It's stopped at the moment...
