Blowhard
Phew! Storm Barra whistled through earlier. High winds and heavy rain. It blew the roof off the chicken house.
Not quite as dramatic as it sounds. The roof is made to open up so you can clean inside, but it opened it up and tore one side off the hinges. Really awkward to make a temporary fix, so I stood in the wind and held it down for a while until I could find a log with a branch sticking out one side that would put weight on both sides. I got *soaked*.
“Barra” you ask? Well, I asked. It’s an Irish Gaelic boy’s name meaning “fair haired”.
Not a great name for a destructive storm. I have a feeling there’s a bit of forced diversity going on here. But, hey, it’s diverse kinds of white people, so I guess it’s got novelty going for it.
