Old windows

After five weeks of rain, followed by five days of relative sun, we have regressed to a typhoon. Or more specifically, to Severe Tropical Storm Fengshen, which is currently bashing the windows with rain that sounds like hail. I love the old windows in the flat, with the original brass handles that screw tight to hold the pane open. But they are a little leaky in typhoons. There are newspapers and buckets everywhere.
