Wind

Sjoe.. what a weekend! First we have rain and cold, now it's wind and cold! And a bit of blown-rain too. Just to add some variety. (I seriously need a fireplace)

I have two cars that leak. The Ford ends up with damp carpets from wherever during winter, the Landy comes with a 1cm gap above the driver's door - which keeps the floor washed out during the rainy season, provided I remove the rubber mats (wonder if it's ethically wrong to drill a small drainage hole in the middle of the floor?).

And now I've found a wind-leak...

My bedroom window is wood-framed. It's closed, yet the blinds cord is moving slowly as the wind rushes by. Last night was a disaster with regards to sleep (for reasons other than the wind, but we're doing "wind" here not "other"). The gale howled through whatever tiny crack there is between fully-closed and not-actually-fully-closed at the window catch from around 2 this morning, and hasn't let up yet.

I'm starting to think... while I'm looking at damp-sealing the vehicles, I may have to look at wind-sealing the window! Especially from black South-Easters. The violently-moving air hits it at exactly the right angle to whistle and scream. Whew.
