A Fresh Breeze

It looks like we are in for a blustery day today. The wind is forecast only to 4 or 5 Bf. Beaufort Force 5 is, apparently, a fresh breeze. The wind will be up to 17 to 21 knots, or 30 to 38 kph or 19 to 24 mph. (I wish it would make up its mind.) Rising westerly Dogger, German Bight. Easterly cyclonic Forties… and all that. Anyway, it means I’ve got my window open, but the door shut so it doesn’t slam, which, in turn, means there will be bits of trees and dried bougainvillea flowers scooting along the floor and taking me by surprise because I will immediately think they are spiders, even though I know they’re not, while out in the courtyard…

Not a lot is happening in that shot, but the chillies are coming along well, and we’ve already had one lot from them. I’ll drop in a photo at some point. Talking of which, I really must get some more. Everything in my folder is currently at least two weeks old. Still, not that much changes around here, only by the seasons or very gradually over time – renovations, more vehicles, businesses change, but the premises remain, the boys who came to dance under the orange trees on my 40th birthday are now getting married and raising families… When did that happen? Oh, and the early morning sunlight on old buildings is still a joy to see.

Have a good day now, y’hear?
