Bright day—57°. A call from Colin before breakfast. The British have completed their examination of the Pan Am 103 crash & are announcing today that it was a bomb explosion.

Barney & Aggie came by—also Ron & Doria—twice. Ron took slippers he’d given me for Xmas & exchanged them for a bigger size. There was more moving in & unpacking. Also some packing. Tomorrow we go to Palm Springs. Back to desk work. Then dinner & early to bed.
