First I want to say a big thank you for the messages of concern and support. They are all much appreciated.
Fortunately I was already at work by the time the terror struck but it wasn't much fun watching the events unfold on CNN at work. Firstly the story of a power surge (couldn't see how that could be) and then the horrible truth. Once I knew that all my team and family were ok I felt a little easier but it's hard not to think of the people who weren't so lucky. So, am I scared.... no. I've lived through London bombing campaigns before and I feel angry more than anything - I'll be at work as normal tomorrow...but I guess I'll be watching my fellow passengers a little more closely than I normally would!
and the shoes......these aren't exactly walking shoes but that's what they had to be tonight because along with thousands of others I had to walk home the 6.2miles from work! It took 1 hour and 40 minutes - not bad eh?!
