Cloud of Unknowing

Volcanic ash on the telly and a hell of a mess in the living room. When will it all get tidied? When will planes take off again? Nobody knows. My boss/friend is trapped in Florence and I told her she had to start walking now, to make it back for work next week. (I say 'trapped' - how can one be trapped in Florence?) Sunday is the normal chore day, so maybe some of all this debris will get cleared away tomorrow...?
