Monday 29/08/05

Bright but very windy morning. Not as windy as it is in New Orleans, which has to put up with winds of 155 mph / 250 kph. One million people are being evacuated from the city. Norman sets off for Leverburgh at ten. As the morning progresses a very dramatic picture emerges from the States, and I go into full newshound mode. CNN is available on Sky, so that remains on. Norman returns from his Harris expedition at six, bringing back a bottle of Jura whisky.
