London III

Strange day.

Having discovered that everyone I could think of was safe and sound back home I was left at something of a loss. I couldn't sit at my computer without staring at the BBC news website or listening to the radio. The mounting panic before my friends and family confirmed as not exploded had left me feeling a bit odd. At a loss, or something. Then me labmate asked if I fancied a pint. Somehow that seemed logical.

Got a bit drunk.

Faint feeling of sickness lingered as the news rolled on on the screen in the corner.

It was a strange feeling; feeling relieved at not being in the city when it all kicked off and somehow wanting to be back home more than ever.

Haven't really sorted out what I think about it all really which might place the vitriol of the last post in context.

Not London's first brush with bombs by any means. Not by a long shot. It takes more than that to shake the city properly as well. Londoners seem quite resilient. Looks as if the explosions are done with and, if the Spanish bombs are anything to go by, we are not facing a campaign.

I suppose I'm worried about what the reaction's gonna be. ID cards become the least of our worries. More new powers for the police? Probably. Another attempt to give judicial power to the Home Secretary? Who knows?

*** a pause there while a VERY drunk housemate came to talk to me. Bless. **

Anyway, I think I'm done here. I should go to bed or something. No idea what I was trying to say, except that some bombs exploded in my city today and it's shaken me up.

More than I expected.
