My initial reaction on hearing tonight's news that Liverpool schoolteacher Gillian Gibbons has been jailed for 15 days in Sudan was one of relief.
Considering that she could have faced the barbaric punishment of being lashed 40 times, or been given several months in prison, the sentence she faces appears mild by comparison.
Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture will be upon us before we know it.
After what seems like an eternity of planning, debate, discussion and controversy, we are on the verge of our date with destiny, and frankly, about time too.
