The terrorist bombings on the London underground and buses are truly horrific. My immediate thought was to my parents, who both live in London. Rationally I knew they'd be okay, they don't work in that part of London, but there was a small part of me thinking 'but what if'...
I had problems getting through via mobile phone or landline, but did managed to get an email out to my mum, and both her and dad are fine. Though one scary thought. Yesterday Dad was in Russell Square, where one of the bombs ripped through a bus, at the time the bombs went off today. It could've been worse. I feel for all those affected by it, but want to commend the actions of the emergency services, they seemed to do a wonderful job.
