Ok, is this wet enough? So just you know, the rain drops can be pretty painful when landing on your head and lip.

5 4 3 1 jump
My first hand: 13 hcp, with one singleton. My lho starts bidding:
R1: p, 1♦️, p, 4♦️.
We made 5.
My thinking goes: both opponents passed and my partner has at least 13 point. One of the players said, the max jump I should have, is 2 or 3. I did consider to go to 5. But with only 1 ace, I only bid 4.
7 3 2 1
The first game in 2024. I’ve 13 hcp, 1 singleton and one doubleton, 7 diamonds.
The bidding:
R1: 1♣️ p, p, 4♦️
It tells me my lho has 13+ pt, my partner and rho have less than 13. Point wise, we might be pretty even but my 7 diamonds and singleton and one doubleton are advantageous. So I jumped to 4♦️, fearing a pretty even hand would not go to the 2nd round. I’d like to go for the game but not knowing my partner’s hand, I settled for less. We ended up making 11/5.
