London bombs

As a Londoner living abroad, I feel so sad to see the city terrorised by the bombs yesterday. Frantic calls and e-mails to family and ex-colleagues, glued to BBC and CNN on cable, trying to sort speculation from fact... relief that those I knew were OK, proud of how emergency plans kicked in and the stoicism and pragmatism of Londoners...

Fatt and I have always said we would probably be much safer in Thailand than in London. It doesn't make me feel any better about what happened. As I read one person write: I just want to come back and have a pint and talk to friends & family.

Good to see today though: some tube lines up and running, almost whole bus network up, people going back to work just like normal.
