After - well, during the rain .......

....... and after the decorator.

Weather forecast was for rain all day - they got it right! Fortunately, late afternoon the sun broke through the clouds for 10 minutes giving us sunbeams with rain falling through them - at a different angle. It almost looked like the sunbeams have bounced back up off the ground. 

Our Decorator did a fabulous job on the lounge (and the loo) - by the evening, almost everything was back in position.
