Storm Eowyn hit Central Scotland on Friday with winds in excess of 100mph.
We got off relatively lightly save for a fence coming down in an area in our back garden which acts like a wind tunnel.Fortunately our nephew had cut down the Eucalyptus tree last summer as it would almost certainly come down and probably causing a bit of damage.
Our plastics bin did blow over and deposited plastic bottles and containers all over the front garden.I will be retrieving them for days. It was too light to stand up to the wind. The bottles bin had no such problem!
It got me thinking of the old Jazz standard Stormy Weather. There were three versions in the Music file on the PC although strangely none of them were by Billie Holiday. I thought three might suffice if only to save me the trouble of downloading another version.
Lest I be accused of hijacking the Single Song Sunday slot I have also included a different song with the same title by the Pixies.
Sarah Vaughan - Stormy Weather
Hijack away CC. After your bin trauma we must all rally round.
ReplyDeleteIn the spirit of Single Song Sunday here is the MRDSWTST (Mandatory Reggae Different Song With The Same Title):

Looks like we got off lightly.
ReplyDeleteHow dare you even think of stealing one of Ernie's features? I'd never do that.
We had this kind of storm in the middle of November. Knocked out our power for a few days. That was the toughest part, but I’m still not quite done with the pickup. I have filled the can for yard waste every week for two months. I think one more week should finally do it.
ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance, listen to Stormy Weather by Reigning Sound. It’s a garage-rock classic. - Brian
