Hi Elizabeth Am a wee bit puzzled when you said that only Noah was saved in the Flood. Surely, there must have been a Mrs Noah to ensure procreation. Virgin births had yet to be invented. And of course, we know with a high degree of certainty that behind every great man is a greater woman. So, I choose to give more credence to Mrs Noah than her young man in this fairy tale.
It is unbelievably hot in London too.
