Torrential rain all morning and lunchtime. Happily, my only exposure to it was for a moment's sprinting from home to the mayoral car to go to the apprentices' passing-out ceremony at Fleetlands. While my mother and John from Fareham shared prize distribution duties, all Pam and I had to do was join in the coffee and chats with the bosses beforehand, sit in the front row and clap during the ceremony, and join in talking to the newly-qualified apprentices and the staff over a buffet after. A most agreeable engagement.

On the drive home, Little Anglesey Road, which runs alongside a tidal creek, was completely flooded, and it was still raining a monsoon. John the driver held an official Council umbrella over me walking up the front path.

One result of the deluge is tonight's Hawks v Fisher game is off :(
