Sitting here in Limbo....

.....well, actually in the departure lounge (which my iPhone just optimistically corrected to "rapture lounge" ) at Malta International Airport. Our flight exists and will be leaving, though not for a while yet as it left Manchester at about the time it should have been leaving here. Never mind, we have friends in Manchester we can stay with if we arrive too late to get home tonight.

The involuntary extension to our holiday meant we got to do various things we'd originally not had time for, quite apart from seeing the Pope. And it could have been much worse: some of the staff at Hilary's college are stuck in the USA or Australia until May.
