Today we are getting 4 new guests, but they don't pay. We're talking about mrs B's grandchildren, varying in age between 10 and 15. Their parents are away to Paris for a few days. The weather is very, very cold all of a sudden. The wind is a bitter easterly, and the mercury is stuck at a miserly 12C. At least it's dry. The equinox has passed, and it gets dark at 7pm now. Spend the day working on weblogs, the project and other things.
Spend the day glued to BBC and CNN to monitor the progress of Hurricane Rita. This weathersystem is due to make landfall near Galveston TX, and is a tropical hurricane of category 4. As soon as it is over land, the system collapses into a deluge of rain. Wind speeds of up to 200 kph / 125 mph. Although there is a lot of damage and flooding, the anticipated devastation on the Katrina scale has not materialized. It is still horrendous though.
Late in the evening, the eldest grandson has not returned by midnight, so mrs B pulls out all the stops to get hold of him. He duly reappears 20 minutes later.
