Weekend before the Storm??

I wonder if the weather people are right and we are due for Hurricane Katie by Monday. if we lived in America we would be panicking by now and buying everything in sight. Mind you they have every reason to because they have had some terrible hurricanes. We were there one year when Hurrican Andrew hit Miami, and the papers and television were full of it. Everything in Disney stopped but it didn't actually touch that part of Florida. They cancelled some of the rides and a dinner show we went to etc., and nbothing. Didn't matter though,. We still had a great time and the plane coming back landed earlier because the wind was behind us apparently.
We have caught some of the 9/11 memorial services today both in New York and in London. Very moving services and some very emotional stories.It seems incredible that it is ten years since it happened, it seems like only yesterday we were watching the second plane hit the tower. Did see an item on the news about a group who were burning an American flag in London..that doesn't seem right somehow.
We have had a normal weekend. A touch of coolness in the air,definitely a touch of Autumn coming along. I do love Autumn though it is by far my most favourite time of the year.

Mount Washington in the background and the gorgeous colours of the Fall. There is a lovely little train that takes you up to the top of Mount Washington..one of those cog railway ones, and it takes ages. When you get to the top it is freezing cold and covered in ice..but there is a huge big cafe on the top also!. Typical USA.

Lovely trip..
Did our crosswords this afternoon which weren't too bad. We completed them in reasonable time, so that gave us a bit of time to have an individual mooch afterwards.Jane rang up on her way to work, and we started to have a conversation then got cut off and she didn't ring back, so I assume she got to work. She often rings when she is on the bus and is bored!! Don't mind that though, we've had some good chats that way.
Tonight we are having:
pizza with tomato mushrooms pineapple, sausage and Emmenthal cheese.
potoato and egg salad with baby plum tomatoes and avocado
Potato salad for moi and a Medditerranean pasta salad for Vin.
