Rain

 Max and Bob and I went to Tyrex last night. It rained so hard that we had to shout at each other to be heard and this made the meal hard going... poor Bob has a new hearing aid and all he could hear was very very loud drumming.
Back at the ranch the yard was ankle deep in water and the tortoise had to be speedily rehoused. Inside.

Variety, they say, is the spice of life; l prefer a blander diet.
