Happy Birthday Lee!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I am back home, yay! Of course I've been awake for about 18 hours and I have a cold. Somehow I don't think everyone else comes back from vacation so physically drained. My fitbit tells me I walked 75 KMs last week. That might have something to do with it. It was a great time nonetheless.
Also, I don't know if I entered my passport details wrong when using my tiny iPhone keyboard, but my details got checked a lot when I flew. (Except flying Ireland-UK where nobody checked my anything) Then today I was pulled aside when reentering Canada, but the customs officer told me to go on when I said I had a connecting flight, since it was only a name check.
Then I had to go through security again and the agent took my sealed in a duty free bag bottle of whiskey, opened it up, opened the tube it was in and swabbed the bottle. I was starting to feel a little paranoid.

That is weird, Sue. Maybe you got flagged somehow? That happened to me once on an international flight and they rechecked EVERYTHING a gazillion times, pulled me from the line twice, and only stopped when I protested in frustration as they were about to open up my camera and destroy the exposed film. (This was back in the days before digital cameras needless to say.)

It was never a hassle like that until today, but they always took my passport and would be checking something on the computer...If I'm being paranoid it's because I tweeted about how weird it was not having to go through immigration when travelling from Ireland to England when the last time I was in Heathrow, they made me go through immigration to change terminals.
I do have a brand new passport...maybe there's an error somewhere? I really probably just entered the numbers wrong.

Oh and I, who never notice celebrities saw Sue Perkins, Ruth Negga and Dominic Cooper (who maybe the wee-est couple ever) at Kate Bush. And then I saw King Joffrey in Dublin. Who I never would have recognized if people weren't getting their picture taken with him.

How life has changed. For me Seven Minutes in Heaven would be if no one called in these last 7 minutes before my shift ends.

For a minute I thought you meant they opened the whiskey, and was shocked.
