blown

The Chargers had blown a 21-point lead to the Cincinnati Bengals.

On the morning the Mountain fire erupted, wind gusts were so strong in Somis that several of the sturdy wooden boxes that housed Eduardo Flores’s bee colonies had already blown over.

As the final whistle was blown, there were some small sporadic boos around the stadium but that was a token gesture.

"It’s not about me," was the response from Bompastor afterwards but there was no hiding her enjoyment as the full-time whistle was blown in London.

"My mind was blown. The comments were flying in and people were asking for more."
