overnight high winds 100klm luckily the wind has changed direction and it was a bit easier than the day before you can tell the wind direction as the cranes auto turn to put there bums into the wind.
Had a walk along the beach first thing and saw a large sign ripped of the board below and slung along the sea front good job it was early it could have killed someone.
Had a walk up town to where they hold concerts etc. passed a washing shop the machines are massive.
Would love to live here but the houses are so cheap.
No drive today far to dangerous in these winds.
