Mighty weekend winds collapsed a wall in my new rented garden! What else might have gone out there in 'Real World Number 5'?

E.

will this wind be so mighty as to lay low the mountains of the earth?

As the wind whistled through the broccoli, did it sound like a recorder and sackbut duet of "Don't Fence Me In"?

When you rent a garden is delivery included?

Will you send some of your mighty winds this way so as to sweep up some of this snow?

that will teach you to eat so much cabbage!

Okay, I was JOKING about sending the wind this way. Today was far too windy for me (and therefore well below freezing).

Back in 1983 we had a cyclone named Tracy strike on December 23 which virtually flattened all of suburban Darwin - to the extent that in one suburb only six houses were left habitable - and left a refrigerator on top of the Travelodge motel - six floor up.

If this wasn't bad enough there was a song; "Santa never made it into Darwin cos a big wind blew it away...'


30 years later we still don't know which was the worst.

So keep your light and fluffy breezes.
