The wind seems to have followed us home, because it was howling here today. All the trees were a writhing mass, and the wind was so warm! I learnt a new Catalan word today: ‘fogony’. It literally means burner, but I assume that in the context of weather and wind it means föhn. I’ve never seen föhn forecast in our part of the Pyrenees, but it can certainly happen.

We were hoping to be able to take a few hours off to go flying, but with the strong wind it was clear from early on that that was a non-starter. On the positive side, we have ploughed through the accounts at such a pace that we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. No skiing tomorrow… forecast is far too warm and it’ll be far to slushy to be enjoyable. 22°C here today…
