Ouch.

That hurt. That really hurt quite badly.

In some ways I feel almost silly for being as upset as I am. I rarely go to London, I have few ties there. But it is our capital, this ancient, incredible city is the true heart of our nation. It is our bastion, our symbol, our figurehead, our pride - it is a large part of us, even for those who do nto live there or have never been there. London is us, and it is hurt.

I am awaiting news of 2 colleagues who went down to London yesterday. They probably won't be back until tomorrow now, though the phone networks are down so we can't really get in touch.

*sigh* I really did think the days when we needed to fear bombs in cities in this wonderful country were over.

And you know what makes it worse? We won the Olympics - we were all on such a high, what a terrible height to come down from.



Interlock, how are you doing? I imagine your commute is Hell and all is chaos.

working from home today, and unholy glad of it. There's some folks stuck in the office and the like, but - yeah - very very odd set of emotions going on in here.
