The sunset was nice, if not spectacular. It’s chilly, and the winds are again really whipping up here on the hill.
How windy? Lemme tell you a story…
In my home office (aka one of the spare bedrooms) I prefer it warmer than the rest of the house, so I tend to keep the door closed. The computers and printers keep it warmer just fine. But unless I’m actually on a call or a Zoom meeting, I don’t necessarily want the door shut all the way, so I’ll leave it partially closed. Not latched, not open, but in that in-between position where the spring loaded latching mechanism has engaged and put some tension on the door frame, but it hasn’t clicked into the hole in the door frame yet.
Four or five times today the house has flexed enough with the pressure of the wind that it has torqued the rectangular, interior, hallway door frame enough to allow the latching mechanism to find the hole and snap shut. This sounds like a freaking rifle. And when it comes totally out of the blue, especially after it’s NEVER done this before in 2+ years here, it’s disturbing. Scares the shit out of me.
I’m not a fan of the wind.

Crikey! That would scare me if the whole house was moving that much!

Well, it’s no M6.9 earthquake! The floor isn’t moving, which is not always a given in this part of the world. Bit it’s a little like being on a big cruise ship 🚢 with some creaking and rattling.
