Thanks for the selfie @weiran and your company. My gloves were soddened and so were my fingers. I didn't want to get my camera out of my soddened backpack in case I got it wet. I'm glad that my waterproof and breathable jacket lived up to its name.
The good news is that as it was raining all the way home and my bike was on a bike rack, I only need to wash one side of it!
(A task still to do; Monday's job).
