Disruptive wind.

Tweet

I am reliably informed that this afternoon we will have wind. Schools and public parks will close at noon, something that would have made my day if it had happened during my own school days. Back then my school suffered many emergency closures, never because of wind, but because of anonymously telephoned bomb scares; some of those menaces were called in by my class mates who didn’t like maths - there was a pattern! Boats to Scotland have been cancelled, but I imagine that, as usual, people are overreacting to cover themselves. Shops will certainly not be closing because of a few gusts of wind, but the people who work in them now have to make hasty arrangements for their children who will be arriving home at noon rather than at the usual 3.30. So I’m just going to light a fire and read.
