Nothing from me this time. Half tempted by 2NT, but I think I'll resist temptation this time around.

2NT seems obvious, but has a problem. It is likely LHO will raise to 3 or 4 hearts, after which pard may not bid 4S unless he has 7 of them (or super 6).
So, if you're ok with the problem above, by all means bid 2NT. Otherwise you can... double.

At our table, auction progressed as follows
1D - (1S) - 4H - (4S)
X - (4N) - P - (5C)
X - All pass
1D was MOSCITO showing 4+ Hearts.
The player holding a 3=0=5=5 overcalled 1S.
The first double showed cards
Imagine my surprise when the player holding AKxxx in Spades and 3 Clubs to the Queen decided to declare a club contract which rolled home.

He probably thought 4NT was Ace-asking
I'd probably bid 2NT, followed by 4♠ if that's still possible, describing my hand exactly.

No idea what he thought it was, but after bidding 5♣ his LHO doubled and this was passed out!
