Moon and Pantheon as seen from my hotel room last night.
Magic.

night night .

Tomorrow is a busy day too as I'll be helping the Prof and Johanna move into their new flat.

Fireworks greet me on my return home

Awwww they shouldn't have gone to so much trouble I've only gone 4 days.

Actually was Sundbyberg's annual street party tonight and I just caught the finale through my kitchen window.

So, what's been happening in Blogland in my absence ?
I can see 100 + messages so it will take me a while to catch up.
Anyway , I'm " unpacking 4 bright and sunny fabulous days in Paris. So lucky with the weather and everything else .

DRAMA on arrival at Charles De Gaule Airport !!
We're all waiting to cliamn our luggage and ofr half an hour or so we here " Would Madame Simon please collect her luggage ..."
Well Madame Simon obviously didn't and the next thing we know , security guards prevent me and others from leaving. We are cordonned off just metres from the exit. Lifts are locked while men in suits with walkie talkies strut around organising things.
This goes on for 40 minutes or so after which we hear a loud BOOM !

Turns out that the afore mentioned suitcase has been blown up ! We are free to go. I pass the remains on my way out and asked the guard if it was a bomb." Oh no , he replies , if it had been , we'd all have been blown up ",

I can't see the logic in ´blowing up a suspected bomb.

Later someone explains to me that they were probably IMPLODING and this rendering it harmless ???

Well well .. it all made for an exciting arrival.

Nice to be back in Blogland .
