Terrorism...
Argh!!!
There's no way I'm going to be flying unless I can take a frodding book with me. I'm a kender by nature - I don't cope well with boredom. Honestly, I think that a bored Jared, Annie and Ellie let loose on a plane would be more of a security risk than any maddened terrorist. The three of us would be chewing our way out of the fuselage in under an hour...
However, in happy news, I have now got my Ashford Traditional spinning wheel back into working order, courtesy of Bill and Sue Chitty at:

I'm now looking forwards to spinning the Alpaca fleece I bought on holiday :-) I was highly amused to be questioned by a member of the public as I was buying it -
"What are you going to do with *that*?" she asked, incredulously.
"I'm going to spin it, and maybe make a soft jumper for my daughter with it."
"Really? You can DO that?"
"Errrr... Yes. That's why I bought it. You should try it - spinning is very relaxing."
"I didn't know anyone could still do that!"
*Annie smiles and wanders away*
