Spirits of the Wind

In Iceland there is always wind and in Icelandic there are as many words for wind as in Greenlandic for snow. Here in the valley it comes either from the south, where it is very warm - warmed by the Gulf Stream, or it comes from the north and is actually very cold. Now I understand why here in Iceland people always wear a buff on their ears in every season, and you can buy them at every gas station or store. If you don't have a buff on your ears, you can be sure that the wind will blow your eardrums away. When the wind comes from the north, the horses are also electrified, which means that the horses are actually even more energized than usual. You wouldn't believe how terrifying a sheep, a wobbly fence or even a bit of blowing grass can be, because you see all of it for the first time and there are definitely trolls everywhere..... Although sometimes I'm not sure if the horses, after encountering such a spirit, have gracefully sidestepped and grinned from one ear to the other...The wind has a very important task as well. If the wind doesn't blow on a day, swarms of small flies suddenly appear, which prefer to fly or crawl into any openings that are not closed quickly enough, ears are also used here - and the buff comes into action again.. So, in terms of hairstyle, it's quite simple here - just tie all the hair together, as long as they are not in the way.. no one needs a hairdryer and I also think that hairdressers are underemployed here....
