For want of a nail ...

There's nothing quite like waking up at 3.15 a.m., realizing that in your OCD-inspired rush to clean out your Yahoo mail inbox last week you deleted the KLM ticket confirmations for your flights from Norwich-Amstermdam-Norwich -- the second half of which you haven't yet taken -- and then panicking that this means you won't be able to check in online and KLM overbook their flights to Norwich, meaning that you'll be bumped, and that will mean PJ won't get to the UK in time to get his flight to Chicago, so he won't make the important conference he needs to speak at -- and so on.

Luckily, broadband meant that I could check my Yahoo account, click hopefully on Trash, and find that the deleted ticket confirmations were still in there. Phew! All's well that ends well.

God bless the Internet!
