Sighhh…..

Some people say that bad things come in threes and I’m beginning to believe them. The wind has just done a stunning job of destroying my third and last parasol. It’s also been sending through gusts that have been seriously testing the new awning that I put up this morning, so much so that I’ve now pulled it mostly in. The little parasol was lightweight and fairly inexpensive but it’s annoying that the wind should keep being so destructive. I had no idea until this year that my terrace was so exposed as originally I thought it was quite sheltered because of being partially in a dip and below the tree line. It appears that that only applies for westerly winds. I’ll have to remember that.
