Holiday

[dryfter]

Continuing in the abbreviated format..

Good:
Boom festival. So good! Fantastic even! Best festival ever!

Bad - all travel related:
* Outbound flight (TAP Portugal) delayed for more than seven hours.
* Portugese car hire place (Europcar) gave our car to someone else, because we were late. Even though we had paid in advance, and they knew we were gonna be late.
* Running late for the return flight, I somehow managed to end up with my film packed in my checked luggage, and my multi-tool packed in my carry-on luggage. The latter was confiscated at security, but the film bothers me the most. It has almost certainly been ruined, and there won't be any way I can get back all those photos :(
* And of course, this morning I woke up to find this had happened at airports around the UK.

I knew we should have driven..

You really need to invest in a lead pouch to protect your film (I have two Sima Filmshields I bought years ago and they rock). Make sure you put it in your carry-on, though, else they'll crack your bag open to have a look.

Alas, the next time two times I went to catch a flight, it was declared that we couldn't have ANY carry-on stuff at all.
Not even a magazine to read. They even conviscated my lip balm. So the camera went thru the luggage scanners twice more. gnnnnrrgghh.

Bums. I was about to say: digitise them, if they're not entirely blank I could try throwing them through l33t electron microscopy broken picture fixing tricks and see if it can bring at least something out.
