Am fine

As Tem wrote, I was sleeping in and first I knew about it was when alsoa contacted me to check whether I was okay. Thank God I wasn't planning to go into the office today.

Am watching BBC News 24. The latest is:

Two people are dead at Aldgate East. There are multiple fatalities with the bus at Tavistock Square - the top deck has been ripped off. There are 6 explosions to date. All buses, tubes and non-mainline trains are down.

It is believed to be Al-Quaeda.

It isn't, but it wasn't unexpected. We were told quite a long time ago that we *would* be attacked at some point. That was why the emergency services were so well prepared, they'd had the disaster plan in place for a while.

I heard that other countries had been upgrading the alert level. It's probably a good idea, although the thinking here is that it was home-grown fanatics who did it. Young idiots who have been indoctrinated. Apparently, one of the two people who died on the bus is thought to have been the bomber - who blew himself up by mistake.
