Strong winds

One of the things that I noticed about Melbourne is her strong winds. I'm not sure how anyone living here would be able to wear a skirt out (except for the tight-fitting type of course). The wind is so strong that the the blinds in the apartment are rattling despite the closed windows. My kitchen is also making rumbling noises because of the wind. I feel just like one of the three little pigs, whose house is in danger of collapse from the huffs and puffs of the big bad wolf.
