What is reality?
Recently, I have bought non-alcoholic gin and tonic in cans. I could have sworn there were two left. My wife swears they were non-alcoholic beer cans. I think she must have been correct.
This begs the question "what is reality?". I guess it is what an individual experiences and for everyone this will be different.
By the way, I find non-alcoholic beers every bit as good as beers with alcohol: they have progressed enormously in the last few years.
Rain in East Anglia, UK

The table shows the rain (going left to right) for 2025 (so far), 2024 and 2023.
