The first of the spring storms arrived yesterday evening, with winds gusting to 120 km per hour and crashing thunder. It came from the south-west, hitting the side of the house with the most windows, screaming through all the chinks in the shutters and slamming rain onto the walls and roof. At one point the big shutters on the main door were wrenched open. I managed to get them closed, though one of the fastenings is broken. It was very wet out there, but also quite warm - not, however, warm enough to dance in.
There was only one very brief power outage. I kept a torch with me and lit some candles, remembering last year's massive storm and the night without electricity. It wasn't that bad, but I was nervous.
