LIVING LIFE

Sometimes I wonder if the musical group The Association were inspired to write the song “Windy” because they lived in an area similar to my neighborhood.

Not only did I live most of my life in a location known for windy weather, I also worked for 30 years at a school which experienced an unusual amount of strong breezes. We rarely had rain days, but many “wind days” kept our students inside due to flying debris. On one occasion, a powerful gust lifted a table umbrella and blew it into the window above my desk – like most primary teachers, I rarely had an opportunity to be at my desk, so luckily the window was the only casualty.

I now live in a city where everyone knows it’s windy as evidenced by the fact that our hair is often standing straight out from our heads like a bad science experiment, and we often cause snapping sounds and shocks caused by static electricity.

For those of you who remember, there was a show called The Flying Nun in which the main character could fly on windy days due to her low weight and the oversized headpiece that she wore.

I wonder if we should ask the groomer to trim our little dog’s ears soon – you never know.
