Among the acts of God which have occurred so far this year, the volcanic eruption in Iceland was relatively benign. Icelanders living on the banks of a river beside the volcano were safely evacuated after it flooded. There were no deaths in the huge blowup of the mountain.
But for Katie, my cousin’s daughter who was due to be married in Malaga tomorrow, the volcano has been a trauma. Only her immediate family reached the venue before the eruption, and the best man (with the ring) had to drive all last night and probably tonight as well to get to the Ayuntamiento de Malaga on time. She booked a hotel and a private restaurant area for the British contingent (and us) and of course we cannot use the facilities.
