I know they call it windy Wellington, but the wind today was frightening. The house feels like it's moving and it sounds so loud without double glazing. Has it been as bad where you live. :scared:

Nothing of note here in in Hamilton. There again, I have been at work (Calming and Restraint this week :scared: ), so maybe missed any big blows. Came home and got in the hammock - fantastic!!

You are lucky missing it, apparently 130kms per hr.
Are you in nursing - C & R is abit different here.

In office in Khandallah this afternoon,was'nt sure if building moving was wind gust or earth tremor .!!??

I'm on the early morning ferry to S Island on Thursday - please let it stop blowing by then..!!

Once I had posted that last comment I looked out the window and it was more gusty than it had been earlier, but not gale force by any means.

Yes, I'm a mental health nurse, and yes, it is a bit different. I think it is a lot more straightforward here, more emphasis on the end result rather than the stages of getting there. Having witnessed a major incident a few days ago, I find it very reassuring that I work with the big team that seem to know what they are doing. My last unit was a 2 ward forensic unit and you were lucky if you had a 2-3 man team. There were 15-18 people here... well done and a good result. Very impressed.

Yes it has! We've had the windiest day in a long time yesterday and last night too. It makes more of a whistling sound where we live and you constantly hear people's windows go smash bang shut.
I don't mind rain and cold but I really hate wind. That's one thing I will probably have to learn to love when we move.

Ahhhhh the wind, reminds me of the joke ........


Why is it always windy in Wellington

Because Christchurch blows and Auckland sucks

Nope not windy here at all. Just had the warmest day so far this spring.... about time too. The kids played outside with all the water toys in my friends garden. I caught the sun too.
