Finally.
Well ... we have been waiting for this for years and although it is horrible it is nowhere near the scale predicted. We have been assuming that when it came the whole of central L0ndon would be wiped out by some biological virus and thousands would d1e.

My son and older daughter were still at home and my husband settled cosily at work. My younger daughter had just got to her office which is in the same road as one of the b0mbs but it is a very long road. She is trapped there as no one is allowed out into the streets for the foreseeable future but at least she can walk home through the park .. unlike most people. She rang me in the upbeat mode of someone who has escaped d3ath, worrying that the traffic cha0s will prevent her from getting to the Pr0d1gy concert tonight. I'm didn't like to say that her chances are probably nil.

I have been saying constantly since 9/11 that they must take the und3rgr0und as little as possible especially at 'sensitive' times as I can't believe that no one has attacked it before. To which they would reply 'For god's sake, how else am I getting halfway across L0ndon by 6.30?' I still can't bear the fact that we suffered years of the c.nt ARI* and their 'seasonal' b0mbing and the minute they finally stop their place is taken by someone else.

Just please let that be all for today so that my daughter and husband can get home.
