When the wind is strong from the south west it is standard practise to use 27L for landing due to turbulence from hangers on approach to 27R. this incident had no bearing on de-alternation.
I'm afraid you are wrong in some of what you say.

I've been flying all week and landing on 27L after 3pm.

Yesterday when we landed before 3pm it was on 27L along with everyone else.No-one was landing 27R yesterday afternoon when I was around. It should have been 27R (up to 3pm) under normal circumstances so something caused the change, I suspect it was the pod scrape.
