1. My disappointed friend tells me about her summer cold. I tell her about our torrential rain. A picnic in the park will be no fun for anyone.
1b. Alec tidied and dusted the stairs the other day. The clear space and the unexpected free time give me the courage to tackle the first floor.
2. In the rain a snail climbs up the water butt.
3. We have a lot of strawberries and they are sweet, fragrant and delicious.
