Ordinary Gweilo

Another weekend, another typhoon signal. 

Looking at the predicted direction of Tropical Storm Soudelor it never looked likely that it was going to come anywhere close to Hong Kong.  Yet the Observatory raised the no.3 (strong wind) signal – and on the basis that you can never be too careful the management here closed our outdoor swimming pool and applied tape to the windows of the clubhouse.  It was a bit windy, certainly, but it was never going to anything more than blow rubbish around.

A few hours later the Observatory abandoned the no.3 signal.  Thanks, guys.
