My father (strangely enough) left last night. This is pretty good as his office was right next to one of the places that was hit and he may well have been on the underground at the time. Strangely enough the reason he left suddenly last night was because his (more recent) marriage is failing (I hated his new wife, so that's almost good news. He's a pretty upset by it though, understandably). But he's safe, if heartbroken at 48, which makes me sad, but put in perspective, he's safe and well and some families will not get the same news today. My thoughts and sorrows with them. It's shocking to see a city I'm in a lot attacked, but it's really hard to know how to react. With a faceless enemy, who can you blame?
A sad, black day for us over here, of all faiths, genders, races and ages.
