Hard and Sudden Rain and a Sodden Moggy

As my train pulled out of Newtown station, a hard rain and hail suddenly appeared from the sky.

I texted my mum to pick me up from Stanmore station - a luxury! When the rain cleared and I arrived home though, Marley greeted me on the doorstop with a sodden coat, a reproachful look, and stained paws from eating wet cat biscuits. Poor darling had to have a bath.

I picked her up and carried her to the shower stall where she was locked until I gathered a bucket of warm water and a rag. There’s not much sadder than a trapped, wet, cold cat who simultaneously blames you for her condition and expects that naturally, you should set her free.

I did manage to sponge her off with the warm rag. Then towel dry her with my floor towel. Poor darling is currently stalking around the house looking almost pouty.

Oh - I forgot to mention - Trafalgar St was so flooded that Wheely Bins started to float away!
