It's raining curry

desperanceSo our friends came around after yoga, and there was goat curry and dal and beet greens and curried brussels sprouts and rice - and in the middle of all of that, there was a Very Strange Noise that puzzled all of us, and the cats and I had to go to investigate, and y'know what?
That was rain, that was. Serious, heavy rain.
It didn't last long, but it was very splendid, after we'd dashed about closing all the windows. Also, useful; the ground is very thoroughly soaked this morning. I don't have to think about watering, for the first time since May.
Talking of the ground, I may have grown All The Beet. Singular. I harvested my sole beet last night, mostly for its greens, and it is undoubtedly the biggest beet in the world ever, and no wonder it was the only one; I think it ate all the others.
I have no idea what to do with a vast beet - and no notion yet what the insides are like, woody or hollow or colonised by an advanced civilisation - but no doubt something will occur. There's no room for the thing in the compost.
Mac, alas, has decided not to eat it overnight. He likes his vegetables green; other colours are mostly deprecated.
