Home Again

Largely with the assistance of my unreasonably voluminous jacket pockets, I managed to take a total of 49kg of kit onto the flight home despite the 37kg hard limit. Apart from check in shenanigans, the journey was remarkably stress free, marred only by my superb organisation skills that left me essentially travelling without a nights sleep for 60 hours. Still I guess I can think of it as training for my next epic!

I had to make a decision in the last few days about a rather unpleasant matter. The question is whether to report something to the police when you are unsure if a criminal act has been committed and you are unsure if, on balance, it wouldn't be better for everyone involved if the matter was quietly ignored. Should you contact the police only if you are sure it is in the best interests of the majority? Is contacting the police the "right" thing to do even if, after the smoke has cleared, it is likely that most of those involved will be unhappier than they were before? If the act or actions are unchecked, might they be repeated in future? I don't pretend to be a particularly moral or righteous person but if I were, is there an absolute moral answer to this question?
(I am referring to something that should be considered seriously, not an unimportant "oh, that bloke in the pub is only 17" or "my mate stole a mars bar from Tesco")

Now comes the uphill struggle of finding a job, flat, mobile phone and hopefully returning my car to the road... and probably 100 other things I have forgotten. Best get back to it in fact!
