I've been reading reports about Hurricane Katrina with growing horror: the hide tide coupled with a potential 5.5m storm surge and the fact that New Orleans is below sea level, people leaving their homes and not expecting them to be there when they return, or people not even able to leave. I just hope everyone will be safe.
In other news, my parents came to visit today and we went out for lunch at the Swan in Pangbourne where I had poutine, which is chips in gravy covered in melted cheese. Sounds like something you might get in Leciester but no, it's Canadian and I ate it in honour of my Due South fetish. A strange dish, but tasty and so filling I waddled for a goodly time afterwards. Then we went off to look at pygmy goats, baby boar and lots and lots and lots of ducks. It was a good day.
