I never mind a windy night, with one notable exception!
My neighbour has a covered driveway comprising
mainly of plastic corrugated sheets. With
luck, the wind is in the South East, and this does not seem to trouble the
construction very much.
If, however, the wind is in the North West, I
have to expect a sleepless night. The
loose panels on the front jump up and down with every gust, and the whole drive
erupts into action.
With scraping, banging and crashing noises, every
type of household item starts to take flight.
Dustbins, water containers, children’s toys,
large sheets of plywood, old plastic bumpers from long-scrapped cars, and an
assorted array of plastic sheeting, all combine in their contribution to this
annoying midnight concert.
I just have to lie awake trying to identify any
individual object and waiting for it to hit my window.
Last week it was a large piece of roof sheeting. I hope that is the piece that jumps up and
down!
