Wellies were definitely the order of the day. I had walked down to the theatre with the dog at 3.30 and found that the water, although not flooding the building was ankle-high on the path. I was amazed at the turnout later, considering the monsoon- like conditions. The cognoscenti had worn wellingtons or water-proof walking boots.One of the successes of the evening was the sense of achievement that one had found a way across the lake. Presumably it will only be after the waters recede, like the parting of the Red Sea, that we will discover those, who, in common with the army of Ramesses II, failed to make the crossing.Only Mrs Squirrelchaser was seen to leave wet footprints on the floor. Common adversity is a great way of breaking the ice.
We had a fun evening, by the end the young people who turned up were chatting in an animated fashion to all the wrinklies. Lattedrinker ensured that the group mixed and the oldies did not stick together in their shyness.Well done, Lattedrinker, more of the same please.

Well done - or 'goed zo' as they say in the Netherlands) everyone. It sounds like I missed an enjoyable evening.
As part of the entertainment we hope to read "Art' by Yasmin Reza. See you there. I hope the lake has diminished by then otherwise we may have to take to the boats.
