When I was seventeen | Sunday, December 09, 2007 |
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green

It might have been good for Sinatra, but 17 is an unlucky number for our next door neighbour who has a car sales operation in south western Sydney.
I just heard the SLSC tannoy warn people of an imminent severe weather warning including lightning and hail. Moments later our neighbour appears on the balcony and tells us that 17 windscreens in his lot have been smashed by the hail as it passed over Blacktown.
Checking the BOM website it says
