We have a Maestrale [Mistral] wind of 23 mph today and I got smacked in the face several times by almonds which had blown off their trees on my way to Raffaele's this morning. [Thus the latter was instructed to "glue", rather than lacquer, my hair!] Debris is blowing about everywhere, the shutters are rattling like mad and it's such a noisy wind in itself that I can hardly hear my TV or radio. Yet it has been sunny: observe the clear, blue sky above the hospital building and then take a look at the flags!
When I was out with Simi just now I noticed that a few power cables are down so if I normally visit your blog and I don't manage it this evening it could be that we are having a power cut.
Smacked in the face by almonds? We eat them over here.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy walking along the Coast when its windy, makes you feel so alive and fresh.
ReplyDeleteif its not too windy I also enjoy Flying my kite..which can be very amusing for anyone watching...
That's not a problem we have in Wales either!
ReplyDeleteDoes it puzzle Simi being dinked by flying almonds?
Well, that's a novel thing to do with them, James! Hi, Sally. Gosh, I haven't flown a kite for 50 years and I'd love to do it again! I think I might have ended up flying with it yesterday, though! Liz, no flying almonds on the route I take with Simi, though we both nearly got blown over. The trees are a bit further down, on the way to the shops.
