211214 Mistral Hair Day

By December 21, 2014 zBlog Archives

“Mistral” is ‘A strong, cold, north-westerly wind blowing through the Rhône valley and southern France into the Mediterranean, mainly in winter’, (OED). Vienna gets more than its fair share of wind, thus it is sometimes described as the ‘Chicago of Europe’; at the moment, it is very Chicago-like here indeed. It would appear that Zoran the bottle-player extraordinaire was caught out by the breeze and forgot to pack his comb. But then when you can play the Flight of the Bumble Bee on a few empty wine bottles with such panache, why worry about your mop?
