7/7 our 9/11

Bombs blasts across London brought the same sickened feeling throughout the day yesterday as that awful day of the twin towers. Although the death toll was not as high the proximity made up the rest. Throughout the day and the evening I have recieved and made calls and texts just checking everyone I know out there is ok. Arthur was very close to the bomb blasts at Kings Cross and although I spoke to him during the day I worried until I heard he was back in Welwyn after going out for dinner and splashing Japanese dignitaries with prawn head juice.

It frightens me that we live in a world where people deisre to harm others with such random selection. Not even targetted hate at a person or person who have harmed them but lashing out at as diverse a population as the people on the streets of London at 9 am on a Thursday.
