Not so good

So far this week, although we’ve had nice temperatures around 15 degrees C, unfortunately we’ve had some very strong, gusting winds to go with them. It’s a strange combination after the recent cold weather – the wind which was previously coming at us from the north and had a chill edge to it, is now blasting at us from the south-east and is quite warm. I don’t know who’s the more surprised, Toddie or me 😕

But anyway, it hasn’t been comfortable working outside because of the strong gusts, so I decided to batten down the hatches and stay indoors for a day or two until they’ve passed. The gusts have been forecast to be as high as 117 kmh (70+ mph) today, so we’re not talking about a light breeze here, and could still be more than 60 kmh (40 mph) tomorrow. Although they are forecast to become fewer and farther between, it doesn’t look as though things will be getting back towards normal much before the week-end, so I doubt I’ll be getting an awful lot done on the X-Air until then. The best laid plans… 😡
