Got caught in town in a deluge heavy enough to make Noah feel nostalgic. Deciding to cut my losses and hurry home, I had to wade along pavements that had started to resemble rivers. By the time I got under cover, only five or six minutes after I set out, I was completely and utterly saturated. Sometime tells me that, what with the high winds and driving rain, the switching on of the Christmas lights isn't going to be particularly well attended.
