Keep your wind to yourselves!

Title applies to Canadians only.

Went to bed last night with the trailer shaking in the wind from the north, woke up this morning to more of the same. Had a quick look around to see what had moved or blown over outside, all was well until I saw that the satellite dish had taken a nose dive 🙁 This was a little surprising as it was staked into the ground with 1 foot stakes. Luckily the only damage was a connector pulled off one of the cables, so replace connector, hammer in stakes, screw in large screwable stake and tie the whole contraption down, re-align the dish (not easy in a 30 knot wind) and all is well until next time.

Thursday is grocery shopping day so off we trekked to the local HEB store (what a boring name compared to the Piggly-Wiggly chain in Alabama). The number of unknown items in the store was amazing, being this close to the Mexican border there was a lot of Mexican fruit, Veg and packaged goods that we had never heard of before. There were peppers there that just looked like they would burn as soon as you touched them.

The weather was overcast and cooler, around 12C, tonight is forecast to go down to 1C thanks to the north winds.

Lyn went off to her crochet class, which interestingly is run by a deaf and dumb woman (hope the previous words are reasonably PC, can’t keep up with all this changing PC mumbo-jumbo). She seems to be getting the message across though as Lyn has almost finished her first project.

Weather permitting we will go off exploring tomorrow.
