Last minute errands about noon cause us to miss Jane, who intended to drop in. Pre-packing begins. The books. In theory we could use entirely ebooks. But somehow we always acquire more "real" books. Or they breed in the corners. So now the crunch - give away, take home, store for next year, put in the (mostly Scandinavian) library in the lobby. The take home option is pretty limited. Total suitcase weight for five months plus is twenty kilos each, much of it spoken for. Give away option, of course, unlimited, but....Then pop up info on the tablet re the London terrorist attack. Crazy number of people hit on Westminster Bridge. They won't have been on the roadway, so the car must have slalomed across the bridge, mowing people down as it went.
