our street has been closed for the night - part of the joy of living near an irish pub - so they can have an extended outdoor area for their st patricks day party tonight. they've got a stage and a band out there, so you can barely hear the telly when they're in full swing (yes, literally - i live about five doors down from the pub). just before they were playing some lovely i-didley-i fiddley flutey jig music and my windows were actually vibrating. oh yeah i forgot to mention i live in an old shopfront, so that's a lot of window...
last night it was a bit gusty. at bedtime i was a little taken aback by how much the window was rattling - it never sounded like that before, and it's been a lot blowier in the past. it was also especially cold in the room last night... anyway this morning i decide to pull back the curtain and have a look-see and what do you think i find? the large panel of glass on the upper part of the window has *started coming away from the frame*. i kid you not. the whole right hand side is gaping, and it's halfway off along the top, too. no wonder it was rattly last night. the landlord's coming around tonight to fix it. i just hope all the amplified flute and fiddle coming from down the road doesn't make it fall clean out before he gets here.
