Just too damn wet.
But the Doog brought us “when all else fails, bring out the Rusty Nail”..as Nickus Biggus fixed his puncture. A back-of-the-Moon plan was quickly abandoned as the rain became more serious and Dr Eric and Nurse Peter had to attend to a Biggus Nickus poorly eye. Impressive first aid kit uncle Eric !
