Friday notes

Wow, that was some gale overnight. Howling winds and, after 3 am, lashing rains. Force 9, according to the readings, which subsided just after 6 am. The rain stopped at 10 o'clock, and I can see some blue sky to the west. Although the wind has not completely dropped away, it's quite a reasonable morning.

Don't make your bed in the morning. Leaving your bed the way you left it is actually good for your health. House-dust mites are thereby deprived of the moisture and warmish conditions which they need for their procreation. The mites (more accurately: their excreta) are blamed for asthma and a host of other allergy-related conditions.

  4. I guess you weren't sleeping super well between 3am and 6am?  Sounds rather intense.  Hope few were out in it.

  5. I knew of this informaton Guido and never make my bed until we get into it.  I just fold everything back in half neatly.
    You deserve a lovely scoured clean blue sky after the night you have experienced.  Howling gale force 9!!!!

    Hope your weekend is milder.

  6. I read an article about that last week Guido, apparently you should leave your bed unmade for at least three hours before making it. It also stops the room smelling musty. I did exactly that and I can tell the difference.

    Love Sandra xxxx
