If the Strike don't get you, the Ash Cloud will

I could say "all set" to return home tomorrow. Flights, booked many moons ago to keep the cost down resulted in a 2-leg trip via London Heathrow. We have the the flight San Francisco to London confirmed (but the cabin crew strike will probably commence while we're half-way across the Atlantic - an interesting thought - and the ash cloud is, at this very moment, creeping towards SE UK). The leg Heathrow to Paris also confirmed after the original was cancelled due to the strike but now we'll miss our train to Brive so that had to be rebooked.

So it's not so much "all set" as "emergency rations being packed in our hand-luggage, check-in bags contain items capable of being lost forever without too much pain".

Looking forward to "doing art" again soon(er or later). Also, looking forward to the Correzien pace of life again and Real Food. There are many things I like about America but its culture is truly one of Conspicuous Consumption.

Now we need a bit of luck, then we'll be back on Wednesday....
