Rain 14.6mm last 24hrs

... fine/strong sunshine here - as it has been since ~0845Z: total
rainfall in last 24hr (to 09Z) = 13.3 mm, but non-standard site.

12.4mm today with some lightish showers. My attention was to the rear
of the house where a large rat,fresh in from the fields, had to be
removed. It was dealt a fatal blow by the long gadget used (normally)
to reach way down from road level to turn off the stop cock.
