A VERY windy day

It was unbelievably windy this morning. I had a weekend task from work, to drive around the village and see what the GPRS coverage was like from my laptop with a 3G data card. This was made hard by huge chunks of tree in the road, and at one point when I was getting out of the car to move one, the door was suddenly ripped out of my hand and bent right back, putting a massive dent in it. Great. It was also blowing the power lines so hard that the electricity kept flickering off and on, causing problems with computers and things. It did calm down eventually but then it rained for the rest of the day, so no dog walk unfortunately.

There was an interesting moment this evening when the wind farm was caught in the sunset so that the turbines shone bright gold against a background of grey cloud. It was made slightly surreal because all the turbines were shut down.
