We 'catch up' with being 4 hours behind the UK again tonight, but for today the footie kick offs are running an hour later later than usual. So it's after 3.00 on a Saturday afternoon and I'm watching football. Just like old times.
It's a typical autumn day; windy and leaves everywhere. Lovely.

Interesting story in the paper today. The World's largest cruise ship sets sail; The 16 deck Oasis of the Seas. It has telescopic smokestacks and when lowered the ship still rises nearly 212 feet out of the water. To leave the Baltic Sea it needs to pass under a bridge with 213 feet clearance.
Apparently it's going to speed up so it sinks deeper into the water. I'm sure they know what they are doing but it seems a tad risky to me. I wouldn't want to be on the boat or the bridge when it happens.
