I'm joyful to see you're having such a great time, and your dinner sounded sooo yummy! :-)
Also I understand the poor dog with his fear of thunderstorms. I'd have hidden with him under a table if I'd been there *lol*.
Go on enjoying yourself like that, my dear! It's so nice to be sure that you're OK like this!
(((HUGS))) and pleasant sunshine to you... :-)
