Wind

[Wansworth]

As Peter Cook would classify a “mighty wind” raged about the house early this morning causing a brief power cut.Certainly the worse wind I have heard on land ,thought something was going to blow away but it’s gone still now thank god …I worry for the very old roof tiles!

It's an ill wind that blows no bubbles.

Lisbon was hit fairly hard last night with gusts around 125km/hr., Lots of trees down and various roads closed but nice and calm this morning. Evidently bad weather now heading north towards Galicia.

I think it was Charles Dickens who wrote about the embarrassment felt by a man chasing his hat that had blown off.

That's nothing compared to that which must have been felt by the man who I saw years ago chasing his wig.

Still, he had more courage than I.

I would have pretended it wasn't mine, and walked briskly away in the opposite direction.

My hand made Panama blew off whilst dinghy sailing. By the time I had come out it had blown off away in the distance….

I rarely practised man-overboard drill.

Attempting to recover hats that had blown overside gave me practise.

Probably not enough, since they almost always succumbed to the waves before I reached them.

APA ama is not a very practical hat but it’s elegant which is a major factor.
