Her days are getting longer as she worked from 8 AM until almost 5:30 last night and the same hours are expected today and tomorrow before getting the weekend off for some rest. Starting Monday, she will be working those hours every day until Christmas Eve.
It has been a real challenge the last four days to cope with the winds that are still blowing. There was a period yesterday - between about 2 PM and 4 PM when it was basically calm, but the winds started up again at dinner time. My weather station records the average winds each day. We've had only two days since we arrived in October where the average hit 4 mph for a day, and the normal is between 1-3 mph. For the last four days, the averages have been 7.7, 4.4, 4.6 and 7.1. That translates to extended periods of high wind gusts and I am at a loss as to why. We have had several changes in air pressure - from low to high and high to low - so there are more things happening than just the air pressure changes. According to the material I read the other day, it only occurs when air pressure goes from high to low. The barometer has shown steady air pressure for the last two days. I give up.
We're still not sure what our plans will be for the holidays, but we already have invitations from George to have Christmas Dinner with his family at their house and to join them again on New Years Eve for dinner at a yet to be named restaurant. We would like to go somewhere for some of the time between Christmas and New Year, so those plans will be made soon...
