first strong winds

Today was the first time the wind really blew since we've moved to Cape Town, 6 months ago. It's pretty impressive. In Johannesburg, there are only strong winds when there's a storm, so at the moment, when I'm not looking out the window (at the lovely sunshine day outside), it sounds like there's a huge storm going on.
Unfortunately I'm stuck inside catching up on work today and tomorrow, which happens to be a public holiday... dam.
