Had to pick Maddie up from school on Thursday at 11 a.m. due to high winds. My parents said they saw footage from England on the damage the wind had done. Since houses here are built like bunkers, it wasn't very scary, and it was kind of cool to watch from inside your solidly built home. Lots of work being done this weekend cutting up fallen trees and branches around town.
The German train system was actually shut down on Friday so that they could clear away all the debris, and a friend of mine had to go pick up her husband at the border of Holland because he had taken the train in for business earlier in the week and couldn't get back home.
Today all is calm and damp and gray--business as usual. Skip is headed into Duesseldorf to see some kind of soccer match where four area professional teams play a kind of mini-tournament. It's stadium with an optional roof and I'll wager they'll need it today.
Went to the grocery store today looking for something beef-like to cook on the grill. Couldn't get a t-bone, but I could get ostrich filets. Let you know how that turns out.
