It's still not at all clear whether or not the huge terrorist scare last week was a false alarm, but at least the government has begun to relax the emergency airport security measures that were introduced in such a panic, and it's now permissible to have a small amount of carry-on baggage including books. It seems that dangerous materials such as toothpaste are still banned on board. 'Tis a mad world, indeed.
So we're off to Spain tomorrow, hoping to enjoy two weeks of sunshine, seeing new places and meeting old friends and family. I'll be back here sometime in September.
