Windy Wednesday.

Actually,  the wind started to get a bit blustery on Tuesday evening,  it was much worse in the night,  Pip took fright as she does whenever the wind gets noisy and crept up onto our bed,  but as the sun came up in the morning so the wind went.
 
We spent a few hours yesterday morning sweeping up the dust,  grit and leaves,  re-stacking chairs,  de-leafing the pool,   we had to rebuild the framework of the largest pea bed which had tilted sideways and a few canes had snapped under the weight of the leaning peas,   the lettuce seedlings that haven't been eaten by whatever it is that's taken a fancy to them,  were protected by upturned 5 litre bottles - we've found most of the bottles but not all of them yet.  Luckily the lettuces were not damaged. The box of pegs and a washing up bowl had somehow managed to fly up over a work surface ( the one where we do almonds) and land down in the courtyard area outside the sheds - pegs everywhere,  the washing up bowl - a plastic one - now split and broken. 

But by about 11am we were back to normal.    And it all started again,  maybe not as strong but not pleasant.  We went indoors and at times it looked like a sandstorm outside.  Dust and stuff swirling round and round.  It stopped again after a few hours and we did cleaned up again.

No surprise to find some tree branches down this morning.   Paco's door curtain was nowhere to be seen so his cats were sunning themselves on the step - usually they hide behind the curtain.

And the light on the Ermita is looking very precarious indeed.  Not sure what is holding it in place at the moment.
