It's very calm here in central London, strangely so, even for us British.
One of the problems now is that nobody knows to which First Aid unit all the casualties went. Lots of people can't get any word their friends and (in my case) family. And yet even I'm acting calm. Can't really explain it - the reaction's weird, and yet in some ways there's nothing seems weird about it.
All part of the quintessential stiff upper-lip, I guess.
Finally got word from my dad - he was on one of the bombed trains, but he's fine and alive and eating toast at the moment. Thanks for your prayers. *hugs*
And he's heading back off the work today on the Underground, along with most of the working population. Despite the loss of life, it's almost like nothing much has happened. Weird.

You are right there? I hope you get word about your family and friends soon, and that all is well.

I'm going to make a nice cup of tea.
