Quiet for a Bank Holiday Weekend!

Nothing much doing in our house this day. Vin decided to go and get a couple of things he needed to finish off the loft, so he went off to Crosby to a good Do-it-Yourself shop there. Didn't feel the need to go with him today as I did last week. Crosby isn't exactly the most interesting place in the world to go to, and it is dire on a Sunday. He went with a little list of things to get for tomorrow so we are all set, and don't need to go out at all tomorrow.We tend not to venture out on a Bank Holiday..too much hassle. He had a list of about four things to get, and that is exactly what he came back with! Would have been a very different story if I had gone.
We have been catching bits of the news today about the Hurricane in North America, currently travelling up from New york towards new England States. The strength of it has waned somewhat, and it is now categorised as a Tropical Storm, but still High Winds nevertheless. We have been in America when there was a Hurricane scare, it was Hurricane Andrew I think, and it was really interesting watching it on the television. They go into the minutest detail. They do tend to panic though, everythi g was shut down, all the Disney rides and the stores rapidly run out of water and boards and things like generators. In the event it didn't hit where we were, but further down. Mind you when you consider what happened when Katrina hit New Orleans they have a right to panic.
The crosswords were really quite easy today. Vin finished his in record time,mine had one which foxed me..so had to look it up. Suddenly, in musical direction. 6 Letters..I had ?u?i?o. The answer turned out to be SUBITO. Well who would know that?
Tonight we are having:
Pizza, but a bit different. Vin wanted to do a pesto and mushroom one.
Egg and potato salad with baby plum tomatoes and avocado.
Potato salad for moi and a couss cous for Vin
