The sun only broke through a couple of times in the afternoon. However, I turned around from pottering in the back garden and Monty and Prudence were sitting side by side, looking at me. So I fed them. (Their mother had already cleaned out the wet food on the porch.) And the dog took me partway to the park; unfortunately I had to stop and answer a gentleman's inquiry about how best to get to the next town, and she was spooked and took me home.
