Ug!

We have been experiencing the worst winter weather I can ever remember in Bermuda...the winter storms charging off the east coast of the USA are about set to blow us clean over to the other side of the Atlantic!! Sustained gale force winds with hurricane gusts of 100mph has left this beautiful green 'Emerald of the Atlantic' crispy brown and salt-burnt. Parts of the island have been cut off as bridges have been closed and people are stranded here and elsewhere as flights have been, and continue to be, cancelled. One brave British Airways flight from London this evening was planning an attempted landing, hoping to beat the next cold front, but gave up and re-routed to Boston, hoping to try again tomorrow.
The incessant roar as the wind howls around the house, the constant racket as it tortures the palm trees and banana grove, the cabin fever starting from not being able to get out and about!!! UG!
The best I can say about it is that the wind at my back made the long uphill walk from the store this afternoon A LOT quicker!

Hmm. What a whingey, whiney post. I better come up with something to be grateful for PDQ!!
Life. Love. Family. Friends. Laughter. Joy. There we go, much better!
